MacW Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 So I was heading to my mates house to wash my car (can never get close enough to my house to use the bloody hose) and by chance happened to jam my buckets sideways under the rear strut to stop them rolling about and suddenly noticed as I was driving that the squeak had gone. YAY! I'm assuming it's just part of the trim that's squeaking so I'll take it apart over the weekend after I get some trim tools, there's a guide on here somewhere telling you where to be careful and I'll look that out later when I have time. My question, before I build my excitement at being squeak-free up too much, is are there potentially any parts of the bar proper that may need tightening or rescrewing etc once I get the trim off or should it be a sturdy, solid construction that I will just need to rehang my trim from with liberal dashes of foam tape and blutack included this time?

Watshot Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 It's not a strut brace in the conventional sense, just a box secton of bodywork trimmed for asthetics, which obviously firms up the rear end. Just remove/replace the trim with any squeak easing solution you prefer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 get some foam backed tape from bnq or a hardware store and apply that in sensible places as you put it all back together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmJak Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Be careful when you dismantle it tho. When i did it, I snapped a load of the clippers and it rattles more than ever now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
