LCR creaking problem

[LCR12npt]

Anyone got any ideas? My Lcr is creaking when going over bumps, seems to be coming from drivers side. Have checked track ends, ball joint and anti roll bar linkage all seems fine. Could it be the busehes on the wishbone?? anyone ever had a similar problem.

are your springs plastic coated? if so it could be the plastic flexing.

mine was creaking and squeeking like hell from the rear and later the front. I had my 30,000 service done last week and the greased up the bushes and the dreadful creaking is gone.

Had ARB and ARB bushes changed under wrty and all is now sqeak/creak free

get squeaking on mine too, more so from the back. I thought it might be the suspension but do you think it just needs some grease?

car has done over 50k

drop links or any cv joint would cause a knock, not a creak. most probs anti rollbar bushes. a bit dubs 40 or silicone spray will sort it. you will have to remove brkts if you use grease so you can get inside or you will just seal the sides and wont be able to get any sort of spray lube in. use a silicone based lube or it will just dry out and the noise will come back. dont use duck oil.

it will be the rear suspension bushes. stealers just grease them up proper.
