Squeaky + knocks on suspension.

Post by phunkydude »

*(Don't want to hijack others' thread, so i created this.)

My shocks/suspensions making squeaky sound whenever i went over a bump,
and i can feel something hits on the footrest when driving over a pothole/uneven surface.

Input. Thanks! :mrgreen:

If that's certain on what it is, does it costs much to fix?
what does it involves? replace the droplinks and bushes? is it a small job?

would it get worse or damage further if i just leave it?

Thanks!

Check DIY on how to change sway bar bushes in DIY section

As for link pins just replace them when doing the bushes

Clunk from under the foot rest can be from the rear bush on the lower arm as it sits right under your foot ;)

It can be the bush itself or the bush carrier which gets worn bolt holes.
