wishbone rubbing against mount

Postby Jurgen » Tue Jul 21, 2015 6:28 pm

Hi

I have a striker with a squeek in the rear suspension.
I looked at it and i think it's from the rear wishbones: they don't seem wide enough for the pickup points in the chassis.
Has anyone seen this before? afaik it was always thight but now i started sqeeling and everybody is looking weird at me when i get out a the car sqeels.

Now i need an opinion on what to do about it:
- leave it like this
- take the wishbones off and put some grease between it
- cut/weld the wishbone/chassis mounts
- bend the mounts a little bit
- grind a smal bit off the tube where the bush sits in

- any other thoughts?

these images are from the right wishbone

all (metallastic) suspension bushes should be clamped on the inner sleeve between the brackets.

can you add washers /spacers to the inner sleeve (eventually you need to bend the bracket back open in their original position)?

as said you should have a small washer on the inside against the inner bush tube.
