Squeeky front suspension??

[BLUETHUNDER]

Having recently replaced the front suspension, due to it being a bit tired and squeeking a bit while traveling on any uneven roads.All was well with the new set up until the squeeking returned.It sounds like an old spring mattress traveling down the road.Ive greased around some of the suspension joints with spray grease, and this worked for a little bit.But the squeeking has returned.Anyone with any ideas?

I had the same thing mate, in the end I tightened up the ARB bolts and it seemed to go away. It returns every now and again but is mainly sorted. Well worth a try.

Definitely from the front suspension? I've had a couple of squeaks - one was a lose bracket on the exhaust & the other was from the passenger seat - both were really hard to figure out where they came from as they only happened when going over a bump & the sound was just sort of, everywhere.

The bolts for the suspension are suppose to be tightened with the wheels on the ground - under load !, or the suspension creaks/squeeks. I did the same thing ,then read the leaflet that came with my new shocks. HTH
