D4 Creaking front suspension
My D4 seems to have developed an anoying creaking from the front suspensions somewhere. I noticed it when sitting in slow traffic, and can recreate it by rocking the car front to back by coming off and back on the brakes when at a standstill. Its definately the front and if I get out and push the front corners down it creaks (both sides). A dry bush somewhere?
Soemthing I can solve with some slicon spray?
Ideas?

Without further information / investigation its difficult to be precise with any advice. That said, it does sound like a bush issue for sure, try lots of spray lubricant on as many bushes as you can reach including the ARB bushes. Im afraid its probably a case of "suck it and see" yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

Is the creaking worse when adjusting the height?
Mine certainly was and the problem was solved by replacing the front suspension arms.Andy

No, the creaking is still there when adjusting the suspension height but nowhere near what is was when driving, but yesterday it wasnt there at all. Not sure whats going on.

Perhaps not the arms then as the noise in mine was much worse when increasing the height compared to driving around.Andy
