  1. I have an annoying creak that has appeared in my Z coming from the rear, havnt be able to pinpoint it yet, sounded like it was the boot lid creaking, was able to replicate it with boot closed and pushing down on the drivers side.

  2. I'm gonna say it's probably more likely to be the actual drop link than the arb bush...

    Yeah from my reading threads I find it unlikely it's the ARB bushings also, but I guess I have to go with my mechanic on this,

    If the ARB's are worn then I guess they need changed anyway.

    Trial & error game.

     

    I know what you're saying, but my way of thinking is, if you buy new bushes and that's not the problem, is the mechanic gonna refund you for them and not charge you labour since he hasn't done @*!# to fix the problem?

    Yeah you are 100% right, but I tried to diagnose the problem with no joy, it's been bugging me for months now.

  4. Thanks guys, yeah thought it was that, but wanted to be sure, front suspension has that many components didnt want to get wrong ones. Is this known to cause front end knocking?

     

    At what sort of speed is the knocking happening ?

    I would say more noticeable at low speeds, but it's more a road surface issue, an uneven surface really highlights the knocking.

  5. I had the same problem with my driver seat, for months it was a matter of pushing back and forward until it eventually started, really was a nuisance as the driving position difference between me and Mrs made it impossible for me to get into the car.

    I had enough one day and removed the whole seat assembly, removed the whole switch mechanism and gave the whole unit a clean down with WD40, amazing the amount of grime gathers down in there. That was months ago and it has preformed flawlessly since.

    Hope you sort it, bit of time and elbow grease required.
