Default Crazing in paint work

i hanent seen this in the fault list but when i polished my car on the week-end i notice two spots where the paint has crazing. The car was taken in 3 or 4 times from the day od pick-up for paint defect repairs but this problem is new. Car is about 8 months old with 13000km. Oh and the suspension sounds like it is about to fall out from under the car on every small bump. Have jacked the car and pulled and tapped every visible component to no avail. Is front and back (mostly back). Sounds a bit like if the jack was loose and bouncing around on every bump or rut but i took the jack out. Thinking maybe the springs themselves. Looking under the car i see little to no sound deadening which im sure being a hatch-back lets a lot of noise thru. Any coments appreciated
