Brothy Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I have been searching on this forum and several others regarding an annoying metallic squeek sound from the front passenger side. I have recently just installed coilovers followed by camber arms (1 week ago) Super pro sway bar bushes ( 1week ago) Drop links (few months ago) New brembo discs and pad (today) but still no joy! The sound almost starts to generate after 10+ miles of driving whilst going over minor harsh bumps but gets louder over a period of time. Which my head is telling me something is getting hot and expanding causing two components to rub against each other. Has anyone got any suggestions that I can look into to solving this annoying problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex300 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) Could be banana arms ive read people having issues with noises . Regarding your pro sway bar bushes did you put any white grease around the sway bar or inside the bushes before you fitted them. If not the anti roll bar could be moving on dry bushes causing the squeek. My brother had this issue when he fitted new poly bushes on the anti roll bar put some white grease inside the bushes stopped the noise.

Also I noticed the grease I used has been leaking out slowly Its normally white grease you sometimes get with the bushes. Just grease the inside of the bushes . Ive found some on ebay. Or search poly bush grease. Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142461380863 Edited July 2, 2018 by Lex300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
