Hi, I've got a strange sound on my 04 Disco 2. If I move the chassis up and down, there is a odd creaking, sounds like an old ship!

Looking around, it looks like the Watts Linkage could be seized. Presumably if this can't move up and down, everything will creak?

Anyone had this before?

If I go over a speed hump, when the rear drops off it and the suspension is compressed, I get an odd creaking sound. This is down to anti roll bar bushes.

As said above, bushes are a likely suspect. One of the bushes on my castor arm is rather creaky. Planning to replace when everythin else is done. Ha

Do you have ace? I ask because I recently discovered one of my rear arb ace pipes was making contact with the underside of the body which made this really annoying scraping noise and sometimes a clunk as it was close to a ridge/step. I was over the moon when I found it, it had been doing this for weeks and id had watts linkage and arb links done to try and cure noise.

I don't have ACE. I did recently replaced fuel leads. Worried they may be rubbing now?!

Thanks 50 pence, I'll take a look at the bushes.
