it might be worth putting some grease in the ball joints on the BSH links to be fair rich as it may have dried out a little

Creaking noise fixed. The ARB was binding in the bushes  :fighting:

So, took the entire bar off cleaned the bushes, re greased them and replaced the original OEM drop links.

Rattles and creaking gone....... For now!

Pics?  :scared:

Rich I wish you could have some better luck with these bloody brakes.
Each time I read your updates, I remind myself to stop looking at S3 stoppers.

Of course! 21mpg average. Haha.

Overall I was well chuffed with how my car did, brakes were great and showed very little sign of fading although initial bite seemed to diminish during the day... Not bad for oem pads!

I'd like to try and improve the speed of the turn in, maybe achievable with some alignment tweaking.
