Suspension Creak

Featured Replies

Only had my Octy VRs for 2 days now but I have noticed that when going over speed bumps or driving on a bumpy road I am getting a very large creaking noise that seems to be at the drivers side front.

I have the standard 3 month warranty from the garage I got it from but just wondered If anybody else has suffered this to help me narrow it down before taking it in the garage.

Cheers

Very common problem - had it with mine when I picked it up.

Front antiroll bar need replacing and should be done under warranty.

Cheers Malc,

Is it common for these to go after just 31000 miles ?

I'll be making use of that warranty ASAP then to get the antiroll bar replaced.

Sounds like one of the ARB mounting bushes, the drop links, or the radiator mounts (all common problems).

I know it's a warranty job, but check the radiator mounts yourself when the engine's cold; rock the top of the radiator and see if it creaks.

That's two in the last five minutes! Mr T's gonna kick your a$$!!! :rolleyes:
