Not sure if something is wrong with the shaft itself or installI have taken it back twice to get looked at to no avail and the shops next option is to pull it out and put it back in because they can't seem to find what's causing itCheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think old mate used some emery paper on the swaybar first. I know you said you've lubed your bushes and it's still creaking, but just thought I'd share in case.

Spoke to a bloke who said it might have something to do with the style of CV on the repco shafts as its different and can't handle the car being so low. Anyone heard of this being an issue with repco shaft? Apparently Ford cv is ball and cage and repco is tripod needle roller bearings. Means stuff all too me but hoping theres a resolve other than replacing the shaft with genuine ford :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
