Front shocker creaking

Featured Replies

Hi

I have a creaking/clunking noise coming from the top of my shock absorber. if you hold the spring you can feel the vibration/knocking through it as you turn the wheel. you can see it sticking and clunking as it frees off.

is there an easy fix for this? BEARING/BUSH replacement?

Thanks : :S

Just be generous with the spray grease where the spring meets the top mount, and also try some WD40 or similar down from the top, under the plastic cap. If that doesn't work, try the bushes, drop links and WHY

I will batter it with spray grease, i give it a good dose of WD40 which cleared the noise for a while. All the bushes have just recently been replaced at awesome, checked the drop links and they seem fine.

Thanks for the advice
