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 :)

    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
