Default rear shocks/struts

I've had my 08 pilot for about a month now and sometimes there is a little sweeking from the back, like if I'm driving on or off a driveway. Should it be sweeking? what ya think?

Its a combination of the GY tires which are too soft for a vehicle this heavy and Honda's removal of the braces in the rear suspension. The braces are cheap and a 20 minute install.

Tires well. Its up to you and your pocket book. The GYs are very unpopular on this board.

Its probably nothing major, maybe just a bushing or a spring seat, as discussed in this thread. I don't think you should have to install the braces or change your tires to get rid of the noise. All it will probably take is some lubrication, but the sound may return.
