Chops Posted February 5, 2014 Share 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 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted February 6, 2014 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
