I dream of the day I get in my car and everything is normal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sh*ts me everytime I look at it! I've looked at lots of other utes and they all sit off centre to the guard, but I think when you lower them it becomes more noticeable. You'd think that they could have made the guard centered to the wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess it doesn't really matter anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exr6turbs Member 10 Member For: 15y 11m 6d Posted 27/04/09 03:43 AM Share Posted 27/04/09 03:43 AM hey all I had this exact same problem creaking when taking off from lights etc..... I found that my diff u-bolts werent all that tight and I tightened them up and no creaking.. :D So if anyone else has the creaking problem this would be the first thing I would check the u-bolts are ment to reasonably tight..... By the way my car is a 08 fg turbo ute with 8k on it so the u bolts may stretch a little from being new so re tensioning these is a good option I would say will almost certainly fix all your problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
