urm, swaybar creaks?

Postby Rasco » Fri Jul 20, 2012 12:37 am

issue = creaky front when going over bumps (+ a new one is loud/weird power steering noise but that started today, creaks have been getting worse for the last few weeks)

I've recently (6 months +) had new suspension and bushes fitted to the front end - my search show the creaking could be the swaybars/end links...

I drive "vigorously", does my accessment sound correct and am I ok to continue driving the vehicle as it should be dríven or should I brake to a standstill before I consider going around a corner (sic) ..... thankyou I am mechanically clueless as to what the issue could be

Seeing as you had new sways/bushes fitted in 6 months I'd check to see if they were greased properly..

My bars creak quite loudly when its time for a(nother) greasing..

If this is the cause, (and imho it is) then it wont cause you any major issues to keep driving till you get them regreased..
