Squeaky suspension components

Postby freedomatic » Wed Dec 09, 2015 4:05 pm

Does anyone have some advice to remedy squeeky suspension components?

WD-40 has limited effect only. Shocks and anti-rollbar links are new. I suspect the bushes on the wishbones may be the culprit.

Right now it sounds like an old cart or an aviary! :sad:
Thanks

WD40 will not work properly you need to use a silicone spray. Halfords own make is good stuff :handgestures-thumbup:
