Suspension noise
« on: 03 March 2008, 21:11:55 »
I have noticed a noise from the o/s rear of my mig, a bit of creak or groan  mostly noticable on take off & sometimes on uneven surfaces.

Any ideas as to where I should be looking for play / movement?

Thanks

Rear subframe bushes....spray with WD40 to see if it stops.
Check for a broken rear coil spring.

Thanks Dazzler,

Rear spring seemed ok when I had the wheel off to check mthe rear brake, I'll give the WD40 a try.

Cheers

It is a fairly well known remedy. Or at least I thought it was...
