Hi,

have a UK WRX bugeye that had it's suspension swapped for STI.

Since being done, when moving off and sometimes when going over bumps etc it creaks - think it needs lubricating.

What can I use or is it down to something else?

thanks

Jai

 

I too have this on my 2005 STi but it totally goes away once the springs have warmed up, having been worked up and down a fair bit.

 

I had this issue and the car sounded like a sailing ship creaking away from time to time.

Icopper slipped all the bushes and it stopped for three weeks and came back. I identified it as the drop link bushes, copper slipped them and for another three weeks all was hunky dorry. When it started again I fitted another set of secondhand drop links. Problem solved.

 

White lithium grease quietens things down nicely in the bush department
