Creaky squeak noise only over speeds bump?

Featured Replies

Getting a strange creaking squeak that only appears over speed bumps. I've greased every mount I can see including ARB D bushes but it's still there.

 

I've included a short audio recording.

The speed bump is one of the elongated flat once hence the gap between each creak/squeak

 

Thanks 🎂

Sounds like the drop links worn ---short bar from anti roll bar and bolted half way up the strut looks like a bar with 2 small track rod ends on, if you change them buy original or really good quality the cheaper ones do not las, the only other noise i have heard like this might be a cracked spring right at the top mount on underside of the wing but you would hear a clunck when still and turning from lock to lock

I know better but I plumped for the cheapest of the cheap from Ebay, they barely cost more than the delivery would cost alone but were they a bargain?

 

2 years and 30K miles later when changing the suspension struts I decided to replace them again with another cheap set they cost even less this time) as they would be disconnected anyway, to my surprise they were still in perfect order and the swivel joints were still so stiff that I only needed a spanner to remove the nuts & not the splined bit to stop the threaded shaft rotating.

 

So yes they were a bargain, in this instance the recieved wisdom was wrong and I have a spare set if needed.
