Get some coppaslip on the polys, 10mins per side, most of that jacking up and supporting.

[Webby the Bear]

ive got the exact same creaking but in the rear on both sides. I suspect donut bushes. ive never done them. having said that I may have a broken spring or twi. though haven't had a chance to see.

I cant view your video (my computer) but if its down near the radiator area id say front bone bushes. or it could be ARB bushes?

[Terbs]

Could be that, Webby...the ARB are poly too
Tried bouncing the back of the car, and not getting any noises, so I am thinking its all at the front.
Might find a hump and reverse over it, seems like a plan.
I assume Halfrauds will sell that copper grease stuff.

Do you have to take them apart to do that, or just smear them ? Refering to poly bushes..

You have to take it apart and smear the bush. 

Jack up the front on one side, support with stands, undo wishbone front bush bolt, lever downwards and wedge a bit of batten above the wishbone bush so that it is just clear enough to allow the poly's to come out. It's in two sections with a centre tube so pull one part one way and the other part the other way and remove from car. Smear copper grease on to any surface that makes contact with anything and refit to the car. If you have any difficulty re-aligning the bolt, you will see that by pushing/pulling the wheel forwards or backwards influences whether the bush moves forwards/backwards/inwards or outwards.  Repeat for the other side. 

As TB said, around ten minutes a side.

So....that is total time of one hour twenty minutes, which includes the travelling time between Thame and Hazlemere

You could give the bushes a healthy squirt of WD40(or whatever you favour) and see if the noise changes. If it does, then doing a proper job is worthwhile. Shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes.

[Terbs]

Hey, that's an idea Nick I have Plus Gas and WD40 here. Worth a quick fix

You are clearly not using the Longwick road to its full potential.

Has the Longwick road not got a speed limit on it

Only if you're on a bike, as the very slight curve makes for much clenching as you land. Apparently.

Only ever buy the original Molyslip stuff. All the others are a poor imitation, and "wash away" too easily.

[Terbs]

Thanks TB...I'll look for that. I assume its a Halfrauds thing
