not leaking, no problems holding air or anything like that, 3yrs old, changed in a pair, thing is they squeek like fook when you are driving slowish, raise the suspension and they stop, back down to normal ride mode then they do it again, sprayed silicone spray on em tonight and seems to have done the trick, anybody else have this problem, conti air bags fitted,
 
Not heard that one before. Are you sure it's the bags? Are the shock bushes/bolts ok? Just thinking the noise may be stopping in ORM if any play is taken up.
Regards,
Griff

still sqeeks, on the M56 carpark today, frazzled out skoda estate holding traffic up, so just moving slowly and it makes the noise, raise the suspension it stops, i need to take the shocks off and see if that rules one out, super gaz rear shocks!

Wouldn't that make them prone to picking up all sorts of crap which would get rubbed into the surface where they fold over and risk damage?

Maydo? but it ain't stopped em, does my head in, will have to take rear wheels off and have a look at em, shocks as well, but it will have to wait for now as too much to do,

I've not experienced any squeaking from the air bags either. Squeaks are much more likely to be coming from rubber bushes or metal on metal.

watts linkage done, radius arms done, still squeeks, either bags or shock bushes, when you rock the car you can hear it, raise the sus and it stops,
 
Have you lubricated all bushes? give em a squirt one at time and try it after each one so you know which one was the offending bush.

Squirt every bush

I had this on an a frame ball joint on a 300 disco......

all the bushes were changed 6 week ago, copper grease as i re-assembled, its either shock mounts or bags,
 
I've changed the rear bags on mine and mine don't squeak infact if they're fitted correctly there's nothing anywhere near the bags that can cause them to squeak by something rubbing on them. The only thing I can think of making the bags squeak is they're twisted slightly or where they fold over the plastic base at the bottom.

So in your case I'd say more likely to be another suspension component. When you've done work on the suspension has the vehicles weight been on the suspension before tightening up? I know when I changed the leaf springs on my series and that squeaked horrifically over every little bump and destroyed the bushes. Once changed and with some weight in the back when tightening they were fine.
 
well today, ****ed down most of the day here, was gonna take rear wheels off and look, took dog out in the wet car squeeked today, so not the bags i think, super gaz rear shocks fitted, i think it's them, will look in december/ january, clouds may have run out of water by then!
 
well today i did it, The supergaz shocks it was, took them off, extended right out, lubed em and primed a few times, greased all bushes and bolts refitted, smooth as anything, noise gone, supergaz shock shaft must of gone dry, job done! easy fix for once!!
