I t rains and pours lol

 

I just had new front shocks, eibach springs and whiteline anti roll bar with downlinks fitted in Nov. I had the rear anti roll bars done at the same time.

 

A couple of days ago after going through a few bends on a country road, i started to get a creaking/scraping sound.

Im hoping something just needs tightening or at worst something else has snapped.

 

Any ideas?

 

Im going to take it back to the garage that fitted them next week when everythings back to normal, but im a bit apprehensive about driving too far/fast.

 

Ive not got underneath for a visual yet, too bloody wet, but after trying to shake/push the front end around, i dont hear anything untoward. So its only when driving and obviously more noticeable over bumps

 

Cheers

I reckon it'll be the anti-roll bar bushes ;) just lube them up and see what happens.

 

Mine started doing something similar in the last 3-4 weeks as the weather turned

Same here. The roll bar kit I had was supplied with a special lubricant for the bushes.

Same for mine, only when driving it in the wet my front right started creaking, god it gets annoying.

Cheers guys, that sounds reassuring. I have noticed the noise from the drivers side only, but i guess the right hand bush could be the culprit.

Whats best to lubricate it with? grease, lithium grease or silcon oil?

 

Cheers again

I've noticed a LOT of creaking/squeaks/scraping in the last week or so...got me pretty worried but I think it might just be down to the weather. I never usually drive it in cold temps but have had to this year...

 

...hopefully I'm right and yours is something similar!

one of my old zeds started creaking at the front - this is what I found:

 

 

so its worth checking the arms too. ;)

I will do mate, only passed the mot last month, so im pretty sure he would have picked up on anything structural

does it pull to one sde whilst braking?????

Nothing noticeable, i will have to get under to have a look, but will have to wait till tomorrow, going to work in a bit

Bazz has posted exactly what has happened to two of my zeds, caught before disaster each time through luck.

Neither car felt bad to drive, or braked funny, just creaked.Rain or not, worth a peek!
