Any ideas for a temporary quick fix for an irritating squeak from n/s rear suspension on my Griff? I'm thinking douse the area in some sort of spray lubrication/penetrant??
Poly bushes, SH droplinks & Nitrons fitted four years ago,
Hoping it's not the Nitrons. Passed mot with no advisoroes, so can't be anything too drastic...

I have the same on my wedge, in the same place.

It only does it in the hot weather, and stops in the wet.

(So now I only go out in the rain wink. )

I had this with the Poly bushes on my Griff (they were properly lubed when I fitted them). A good spray with WD40 fixed the issue for me.

Just have a good look at the ARB mounts, mine has squeaked in the past when these have fractured.

Any chance that WD40 might degrade the poly bushes? I was thinking maybe some kind of silicone lubricant?

Remove the baffles from the exhaust.
