My 61 plate Minin One has developed a creak from the rear suspension, when turning the wheel in either direction there is a fairly audible creak, I'm guessing a bit of WD40 around the struts but am a genuine amateur so would appreciate any advice.

Hi Blue62,

I wouldn’t bother spraying any wd40 on the struts. I would say that your problem is most likely worn rear anti roll bar bushes if it’s a creaking noise. They are quite easy to do and the bushes themselves cost around £5/6 for the pair. Have you noticed the creaking sound quieter when it has been raining? And more creaky with the warmer weather? thumbup
Definitely creaks more when it's dry and dusty, I think the bushes is most likely, will get it checked out thanks
