|  Suspension noises! For the first time today I have heard squeaking coming from the front passenger side of my 51 plate Octy VRS when going over speed bumps at my local Morrisons. Have read threads talking about noises but nothing the same as this. Can anyone enlighten me please before I have either a wasted or expensive trip to the dealer? |

| Squeaking anti roll bar bushes i'd say. New bushes fitted with a rubber safe grease should sort the problem.

| bushes If it is the bushes how much are we talking costwise from my local Skoda dealer? It is still under an extended warranty but this would be just wear and tear! I'm guessing. |

| I've got the same problem, suspect its the ARB bushes as suggested, I would be interested in knowing likely cost in sorting this as well. |

| Mine was in the dealers this week for this, ARB bushes and linkages replaced for £98. Hasn't stopped the squeaking/creaking/clattering though It's going to have to go back, get them to check the radiator mounts.
