Today has been a good day. Finally nailed the creaking in the front suspension, turned out I had a dry bush (arb) :P Been driving me mad for a while now so glad it's sorted but the real good thing is that I have a date with Awesome for the H&R/FSD fitting so cant wait :thumbup: roll on 8th December At last suspension that can compliment the remap :woot:

You will love them,i know i do.

p.s. Sarah, i'm telling Slim.

It's very simple.

Jack up and support car both sides and remove both road wheels.

Using 18mm spanner disconnect droplinks to arb.

Remove 13mm bolt on each bush clamp using a socket, I couldn't get a spanner on the bolt

Lift the clamp upward using a screwdriver and pull bar away on each side.

The bar now slides towards you allowing access to the bush.

I removed the bracket then the bush and greased the subframe where the bush meets, the bush bracket where it contacts, the arb at the point where the bush sits and finally the bush all over and inside. Do this both sides then reassemble in reverse. Be aware that the bush is retained in the bracket one way and slides out the other so make sure the bush sits firmly in the bracket before bolting everything up.

I used copper grease as I think it will last better than standard grease.

Ah it is so lovely to be squeak/creak free

Funny you should mention this - my poly ARB bushes are creaking

Oooh Rob , have you got a dry bush too :lol:

Sorry , this thread has made me laugh

Sarah

Iv got bush creak aswel :P

We all need more lube in our bushes!

:lol:

Sarah

Well it's been 18 days since I opened this thread and now have loads of these :D:D:D

Car is much more planted and responds so well especially on the B roads

Looks good too and sits really nicely I think :P

Would like to say a big thank you to the Awesome team for the excellent service :orb_clap:

Hello my dear

I am sorry I missed you yesterday

Glad the lads looked after you too , nice to know that they can manage without me

Did you get an Awesome brew too?

Nice one , yes looks .,like the stance is there thank you

Sarah

300 mile round trip and failed to meet a Briskoda legend :( I'm sure I'll be back for something in the future though

Was well looked after by a sofly spoken Liverpudlian bloke who's name I failed to get.

Sadly no Awesome brew for me :orb_upset

Ah bless...... thank you

I will make sure I am here for the next one to meet you

I will also make sure you get 2 "Awesome" brews too

You see they do miss me when I am not here

I think it could have been John that looked after you , he does have his moments

Sarah

I've just read this thread. I'd have used a lithium grease rather than Copaslip, but that's the only variation.

I am happy with the copaslip as it has cured the problem. Have never used lithium grease, whats the benefits with it Ken?

High resistance to water washing, but rather cheaper and cleaner than Copaslip!
