Front Suspension squeaks??

[CASTOY Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close CASTOY]

Any one have squeaks and creaks coming from front end.
Appeared all of a sudden halfway through 8 days in VIcHigh Country. Some pretty hot days and then some water crossings along tracks.
Could bushes have dried up. Appears only yo be coming from RHF.

Any Ideas :?

Re: Front Suspension squeaks??

Yeah, I have creaks coming from the front end, noticeable when going over speed bumps at a speed that makes the suspension compress a lot.
When I got new tyres, they did an alignment and the noises went away for about 2 months. I went searching for it, but couldn't find it.
I did find that if I jacked up the front slowly, there was a tick tick tick, like whatever was binding was releasing its pressure a little at a time.

Sorry I can't be of any more help.
