I've got a squeaky suspension bush at the rear of my 110.
The shocks/bushes are new so l doubt it's that.
lt might be the Britpart ARB kit? What can l spray on to the bushes to stop them from squeaking.
 
No poly bushes, it's a loud squeak, even if you only press on the rear step with your foot up and down a little it goes eeeeeee...eeeeeee...eeeeeee
 
That's mice mate.
Could try copperslip on the bolts. Could just be bit of dirt thats got in, might wear out. Don't use copper grease on the rubber though, use that red rubber grease stuff.
Gotta hate a squeak.
 
So l greased the bushes, and the squeak disappeared for one day, then returned as bad as ever.
l fitted new bushes and it's squeaking as loud as ever.
ls there a special grease. Copper grease maybe?

Did you change the joints on the end of the anti roll bar?
 
It's the rubber bushes squeaking, the ball joints are OK.
l've cleaned them up tonight and greased them with red rubber grease, let's see how that goes.
 
I'm interested in the outcome on this one. Mine squeaks / tweets / creaks all the time. When I first bought her I crawled around under it with a tin of WD40 while the wife bounced up and down on the rear step and zapped them all. Alas, it was only a short term fix and they all came back. I just turn up the radio now..
 
Thought about polybushing mine but was put off by LR mechanic who said they "dry out and squeak like bu****y".
Just saying.

Still fancy doing it eventually though.
