cliff.b Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 In pursuit of further squeaking, I have found I am getting noise from the front suspension when bouncing the car, but haven't been able to identify where from so far. I include a short video clip and any thoughts are appreciated. VID_20220621_124919.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain T Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Sounds like you're pumping the tyres up😂 I had creaky polybush suspension, I oiled all the bushes took it for a spin and oiled 'em again and so far no creaks. By oil I mean liberally squirt oil on them! Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badwolf Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Lady BW has a theory that if you squeeze it in somewhere, it goes somewhere else. I think that the lady above proves her to be correct! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Truman Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 After a long hot summer the poly bush's on my Triumphs definately start to squeak, a spry with the water hose quietens it for a day or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been taking a daily dose for years. When I occasionally stop the joints in my hands get a bit creaky and stiff. When I restart after a few weeks they are fine. Don't know if it's just coincidence or smoke 'n' mirrors but it works for me! Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
