Squeaky suspension

Post by paulp » Wed May 24, 2023 10:21 pm

Hi Guys, last couple of times i've been out in my 97 24v i've noticed the rear suspension is very squeak, more noticeable at slower speeds. Think this is coming from the rear shocks ( unless you guys know differently ? ), but the car appears to handle ok. You can hear it squeak when you bounce the rear end. Just wondered if anybody else has had this & if so, what to do to stop it ?.

Could well be anti roll bar bushes/drop links or the bushes in the arms

So drop links & anti roll bar bushes fitted today, no more squeaky suspension thankfully, now just need to replace the smelly exhaust thats covered in waxoil or the similar & stinks the car every time i go out, any suggestions where to get new exhaust from ?

Where did you get the anti roll bar bushes from mate?

I got an exhaust from aacarpartsuk on eBay. Delivered next day.

I just got a middle section. The cheapest option wasn't in stock (£70 I think), but they had a better one for £90 so I went with that.
