RB5009

after getting my car back from garage after having engine rebuild, my front suspension creaks over speed humps etc. it is also fitted with front strut brace. i thought that maybe it was noisy beaucase it had been unsettled but ive had it back for 1000miles now and it still hasnt gone away. any ideas?!!!!!

mine does exactly the same. Had my rear shocks re-greased which sorted them out for a while.... Will try that to the front and report back.

I had a similar problem on my car, although it was the rear making the noise.

I have whiteline drop links fitted and found the ARB was rubbing/hitting the droplinks (previous owner had the wrong ones fitted). This is what was causing mine to creak/knock.

So not sure if you have droplinks fitted along with your ARB?

Mine creaks from the drivers side front. It happened since I changed my shocks/springs. I have eibach front ARB, whiteline solid droplinks, KYB AGX shocks, whiteline flatout springs, whiteline top-mounts and hardrace rear wishbone bushes.

I thought I'd got rid of it after re-seating the springs, one was slightly misaligned in the seat cup. Knocking has completely gone, but the creaking went and then came back when I fitted my new wheels a couple of weeks ago.

I think I need to grease up all of the bushes when I get enough time off to strip it down, and after I've ordered my next lot of whiteline goodies.

Front ARB bushes !!! Get some white silicon grease and it should go away.
