Advice Re: creaking upper suspension strut bushes

Post by sitas3 » Tue Feb 25, 2003 10:07 pm

It had to happen.. The day before I'm due to take my car on the track for the first time, I notice a creaking noise coming from the top of both suspension struts when turning the steering wheel.

Some history: I've recently fitted coilovers..

Anyone know if this is serious or is it a case of the bushes/bearing plates needing a greasing??

I don't want to risk going too fast if the things are coming off whilst whizzing round Coppice [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Sounds to me simon things are drying out, get thee greasy nipple out [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] and cover with a generous amount of that slippery fluid, should do the trick [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
