pac23 Member 103 Member For: 13y 1m 11d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 22/10/13 06:18 AM Share Posted 22/10/13 06:18 AM About 10k ago I replaced upper on control arm bushes, diff bushes, blade bushes with superpro items (comfort o the diff ones). All was good until 2 weeks ago when I had a wheel alignment and I noticed a few days later that there was a bad creak in the rear end when goin over speed hump and entering driveways mainly. Anyone got any suggestions? I don't want to go to pedder as they just seem to tell you everything needs replacement..

Or spray EVERYTHING with it lol Edited 22/10/13 10:55 PM by cizzink11 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86573-creaking-fg/#findComment-1435338 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it wear that causes them to creak?I removed my front upper arms (BF) and greased the steel bush in & out and all the poly bush I could without removing it. Worked a treat, for about 1000kms. Then back to how it was before. Is this the end of their life? Bushes have been there for about 40000kms/2 years. But have been creaking for about 6 months, getting slowly worse. Sounds heaps worse once car is warm?????Thanks/cheers/smash the b00st Edited 29/10/13 11:30 AM by knoles Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86573-creaking-fg/#findComment-1436914 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried greasing them but that didn't really work. I'll be putting d bushes on tomorrow. Hope it fixes it. It's super irritating at the moment..
