Title: Creaking rear n/s suspension after having car polybushed...
Post by: berg on April 10, 2013, 03:18:09 pm
my rear nearside suspension is creaking after superpro bushes fitted.

is it likely could be bump stop on damper, spring/trailing arm or maybe a bush itself just needing more grease?

Cant see it being the latter as Alex but loads of grease on all the new bushes.

Is doing my head in as is quite loud in certain situations, is there any way of trying to isolate which component is playing up or just trial and error until find it?

A bit different but had this problem when my auto tech rear arb was fitted

Was well greased and seemed ok but a few days later was creaking and groaning over the slightest bump

Went back and got them to re grease it again and been fine ever since  :happy2:

mmm might go chippy tonight then.

grease on the bush though you think most likely or the bump stop although dont think that would have been disturbed when fitted?
