Hi everyone, I need some help with my suspension. It has suddenly started squeaking from the driver side whenever the car is moving. If you have the bonnet up and push down on the right hand side, it will also squeak, so I think this rules out it being the bonnet latches.

 

A couple of weeks ago it had 2 new front steering rack tie rods put on. The company had also ordered in some Ikeya Formula upper arms, which they fitted, but took off again as the camber was completely out with them on and couldn't be adjusted, so they said they cleaned up my existing upper arms, got some new bearings for them and fitted them again.

 

I am very confused though, as I thought I already had SPL adjustable upper camber arms, and adjustable lower tension rods. Are the front steering rack tie rods the same thing as lower tension rods?

 

I have taken a picture of what I think is the upper arms, only because it looks very similar to the adjustable upper arms pictures on Smithy's place.

Could it be that I now have adjustable upper arms but not adjustable tension rods, and this is causing an issue? I really don't know much about suspension and what part is what. If any one can help it would be much appreciated, as if I already had these adjustable parts, I want to know why the garage told me I needed all these new parts.

 

Cheers

Colin
