Squeaky Teins?

[CJay]

I have a squeaky noise (best description I can come up with!) from the rear suspension, I suspected the rear ARB bushes and changed them but the noise is still apparent. All of the other rear bushes look fine (cars a '01 with 97k kms on the clock) and I'm starting to suspect the Tein Wagon coilovers - does anyone know if they're liable to play up?

They certainly appear to be. I've got Tein super wagons and mine started squeeking on the way down to Eurospec the other night. It actually got really loud. On closer inspection we found that the dust cover on the rod had actually come loose. Re-positioned it and the noise went.

Thanks for the insight WL, will check 'em out.

Mine make an occaisonal noise too - I'll investigate that dust cover....

I only notice it on uneven ground and over speed ramps @ low speed, this was the reason I suspected the ARB bushes (they were worn anyway and could do with being replaced).
