Title: Spring Squeak!
Post by: Len on 17 June 2009, 15:36

Front nearside, only happens at low speed manouvering.

Surely this cant be the top mount? I put new ones in when I changed to coilovers!

Anti-roll bar or wishbone bush?

Probably just your cowboy fitting tbh. Would get them checked out.

Isnt a very good attitude to take with something so important as suspension. Personally i wouldnt drive the car until it is fixed. Could be dangerous to yourself, and other road users.  :wink:

These are top quality struts remember! FK Konigsports. Paid enough for em! :angry:

It definitely sounds like spring tramp. It is only the nearside and only on full lock turning left, well as you are getting to full lock you hear it!

Yea I'll try the spray grease.
