S3 creaking from rear

[scotty_24]

Ok. Chasing this so far I've fitted
S3 Dave rear tie arms (fitted on bottom)
Koni shocks
Eibach springs
Polybushed OEM upper tie arms (no visible signs of cracking)
Replaced 4 rose joints with new revised bushes.
Replaced rear arm, front bushes with OEM
Replaced drop links

It's still creaking from the near side rear. It's driving me mental.
Subframe bushes ?

Seized rose bush? Lower outer tie bar bush.

I had the same and polybushed everything. Turned out to be the rose bushes which I replaced same as you. After that I don't know. Hardly a droplink??

 

[goodbuzzman1]

Oops I see you already replaced them

Trailer arm bushes?

 

[scotty_24]

done dude, the rear arm front bushes fell to bits when i took them out !

 

[vanilla_ice]

Are the poly bushes sufficiently lubricated?

 

[scotty_24]

Well this is what I was thinking.

Ive got front and rear Eibach anti roll bars, and the tie arms are polybushed

Is there any way to lubricate them in situ? Go wild with the wd40? ow white grease spray?

Turn up the music!

Im going to the ring in a months time and i dont want my rear wheels flying off ha ha!

Im confident the tie arms arent cracked, and i know that every single bush on the back end is now poly / oem.

It may be a dry bush ? (pardon the filth)

Sounds to me like ARB bushes.

A dry arb bush will creak like hell!

 

[scotty_24]

Il bring it into work and get it up on the ramps and lube the hell out of the back end ha ha ha

I had this on mine after having new front and rear R32 ARB's fitted. The bushes are just dry. loosen off the brackets and lube them up best you can with copper grease and it will solve the issue. Don't use the aerosol copper grease spray as it dries out to fast due to the aerosol effect
