Chops Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 ive been having a problem with my suspension for a while now and I'm getting fed up with it. recently I fitted a couple of new wishbones, and a second hand shock on the drivers side and since then I've had some right old creaking from that area. also, since I bought the car there's been a sudden loud creaking from time to time when I reverse, which I've been ignoring but should probably try and sort while im messing around with it all. anyone able to give me an idea of what it all is or how to get rid of it?

Zeldoz Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Could be the strut it may have movement..Failing that, bushes? Or when you binned it you may of damaged something else you've overlooked? Edited February 6, 2014 by Zeldoz Quote
Chops Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 i put an anti lift kit on it, pretty much new. brand new polybushings in it. ill tighen down the strut a little then. Quote
morgey Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Did you grease the alk when you fitted it. Poly bushes need a good coating of grease or they'll squeak.The rear is a funny one. Check to see if the calipers tight and make sure the sliders are free. It's common for the rear calipers to seize up. Quote

It's common for the rear calipers to seize up.Ah, i completely forgot to grease them, come to think of it. got some grease specially for it too lol. the rear is a different noise, like a tight bolt creaking as you force it round. sort of a judder to it too.
