Hi Guys,

You've all probably worked out my problem and the advice I'm seeking from the topic?

My front driverside arm is fairly squeaky, the other side squeaks a bit too but the driver side is worse.

Do I just grease up the bushes or is there a better way to do it?

THanks in advance guys/girls/people undecided :yes: :sorcerer:

Best way to shut them up from squeaking is to take them out ha ha. Use something like Super-pro or Noltec or Whiteline (I think whiteline bushes made by Superpro?) However, you can probably try to grease it up or something but the noise will reappear. Its common with Nolathane and i believe it is because their compound of PolyUrethane is to hard. Thats what i have heard. Not 100% on that part.

Hope that helps a little.

Regards

I am assuming this is an R32 by the picture.

If so, it should have grease nipple on the upper control arms. Just get some grease pumped in there. If it doens't have grease nipples them someone left them off, bad mechanic, slap on wrist. So you will need to get some fitted and then grease them up.

:D Cheers :D

Thats interesting.

My nolathane bush kit didn't come with nipples for the upper control arm.

Anyone know where i could get some before i install the bushes?

Your local bearing shop, CBC, NBC etc

The Whiteline R32 front camber kit comes with nipples

:blink: cheers :)

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
