I have a new 2005 Sorento and live in So Cal after all of the rains in
December my drive line started making noise, the split shaft started
creaking from reverse to drive (sounded like over tightening a lugnut) so I
took it back to the dealer they said that it needed to have a re-torque on
the large nut at the split but would require changing the u-joints so they
just replaced the whole drive shaft but here it is 3 months later and
another bad rain and the creaking is back... Has anybody had this problem
yet???

Also I am not a spammer but I bought some stuff from this sight and thought
some of you Sorento owners would like this stuff

My sorento is the second 1 from the bottem in the gallery (Black one, 20"
Rims)

Are you sure your driveline does not just need a good shot of grease? I have
the 03 Sorento and have not had any such driveline problems. Have you talked
driect with someone at Kia? I know that my local dealers service Dept. was at
the bottom of the learning curve when asked even simple questions.

Here is a really good place to get answers about Sorento problems.
Goodluck finding the answer to your problem.
