Squeaky Suspension (Powerflex)

yaktrebor · 10-11-2005, 16:24

I've seen some threads about this in the archive, however, I still haven't seen a definative answer yet, so here goes......
I have squeaky front suspension.
It seems to happen more in the summer, or when I been driving for a while over fast A and B roads. (I live in the Peak District - lots of fast A and B roads!).
During my last service, I was told that my anti-roll bar bushes are on the way out. I've seen in this forum that this may be the problem.
Has anyone had a similar problem? How was it finally resolved?
As a side issue...... I've seen 'POWERFLEX' bushes being promoted as a good replacement. Has anyone had any experience of these?

The issue with the standard bushes on the VRS has not been "resolved" as such. It is generally agreed though, that changing the ARB bushes will solve the problem.
