Hi All,

I have a fantastic 2006 R53 JCW which I am told is one of 5 or 6 to this level of specification in the country on Mini2.

However, when the car is cold the front nearside suspension makes a squeaky noise going over speed bumps etc. Sounds noisier in the car than out, at appears to be from near the top.

Any ideas on what it could be? There is no knocking, it is solid as a rock and once warmed up the noise goes. Is it just some rubbers getting a bit old somewhere? If so, any ideas on what would need changing?

Jon.
