Hi chaps,

Just finding out something.

I have uprated most bushes on the chassis, but after doing the final ones, which were the wishbones and front droplinks, I seem to have a creaking, not all the time, just if I go up a driveway and reverse off at an angle it'll creak.

Any ideas? Or is this normal? as every thing is tight now.?

 

are they sufficently greased up? I have to re-grease the polly bushes for my droplinks and antiroll bars every year or so (don't do many miles) or they start creaking when they get dry

 

I had a similar noise, was only at low speeds, usually with some steering lock applied. Strangely I have recently upgraded to some 18"s and the noise has misteriously vanished. Maybe mine was just a loose wheel nut or two? Who knows, hope you get it sorted though mate!

 

It's got lube on all bits. It's only happened since I changed wishbones for alloy ones and new bushes in there, plus droplinks, they are adjustable droplinks, maybe to tight? It doesn't bother me as it's only when going up a little driveway at angle, only when turning around. But my god doesn't handle well. Think I'll justnot turn around on that bit. Ha Cheers for replies

 

hmm, alloy and steel wishbones require different drop links i believe... were you deffo sent the correct ones?

 

Oh yes, that was sorted. Don't worry got the right Ones
