Hi All,

I had some new koni shocks and bushes fitted to the rear of my VTSS. Since fitment I have noticed a squeaking sound at low speed ie. going over speed humps (under 10km/h), coming from the rear left. If the car is stationary and I push up and down on the tow bar this is enough to prompt the squeaking, so it's small movements.

I'm far from a suspension expert. Something loose or does one of the components need some lubrication -- any ideas where to start or what to look for? Would WD40 do the trick or do I need something else?

I could take it back to the shop but it's been a while as the car is a weekender.

Thanks,
Glenn.

Nolathane bushes? Pretty common for them to be noisey over bumps

Mine squeaked a bit when new. Went away after a month or so.

Moly grease works well.
