Chirping suspension
Discussion
Wont have a chance to get the wheels off until next weekend so in the meantime any armchair diagnostics might get me looking in the right place when I do!
The front suspension (or roll bar?) makes a chirping noise when the car (Peugeot 206) is rocked from side to side but not when bounced up and down. Sounds like a load of budgies.
Its a 2005 and while everything else is almost like new the suspension and front calipers look like they have stood still for a long time. MOT history supports this as it only did a few hundred miles in 3 years up to a year ago since when its done 5000. Its also been sitting for a couple of months until last week.
Where to start looking?
Cheers

With the car sitting for a long time I’d be looking mostly for dried out rubber. ARB bushes or even rusty anti roll bar drop links.
