pac23 Member 103 Member For: 12y 9m 13d 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or spray EVERYTHING with it lol Edited 22/10/13 10:55 PM by cizzink11 Link to comment 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 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..
