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 :)

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
