prometheus Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Hey guys, I've had a bit off a bad squeak coming from the passenger side when going over bumps for about the last year! It much worse in cold weather and in fact will dissappear after drining for about 30 mins. I've done a few searches and thought it was the droplinks, so bought new ones and repleaced them last night, but the squeak is still there! Now the droplinks needed doing as they were in a sorry state when they came off, just wondering what now is actually causing the squeaking? It sounds really rubbery against metal if that makes sense.

Cheesypuff Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Had exactly that noise when going over bumps ect, really annoying rubbery squeek sound. Had new Compression Arm (think usually referred to as the bananna bar) bushes fitted and all gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prometheus Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 Had thought it might be that from reading other searches, but sort of dreaded it as the Banana arm is rather expensive, and getting the bushes in seems quite complicated, might just have to live with it. Would squirting a bit of silcone oil over the bushes quieten it down? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesypuff Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Just had my local garage fit the bushes for me. I asked them and they said it was an easy job, only charged me about £80 I think. It's really worth doing as that squeak is just horrible to have to live with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zugara Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 bet its the door rubber stops, look near the top of the door and you will see a black rubber stop about 15mm diameter, give that a splash of lube on both sides and on the boot, bet that stops it......
