Well sounds like the ARB was installed correctly. Hopefully it doesn't creak too much more. I presume you are running neuspeed or bsh drop links? If the drop links are creaking they sound like rose joint drop links.

Got them to fit brand new OE drop links when they put on the ARB on tuesday as i had heard there isn't much of a difference and some can knock like mad  :laugh:

So far so good nice and quite and still handling well  :driver:

Bit of on topic advice needed...

My replacement neuspeed arb clamps and bushes have arrived.  Do I just use the neuspeed lube included (doesn't look like a lot) or hammer it with white lithium grease?

Thanks in advance

So then Thanks in advance

Use the Neuspeed stuff.  Best stuff out there.

Chortle chortle  :P

if my car makes a 'squeaking' noise when going over bumps...could opening up the ARB bushes, replacing them and regreasing do the trick? still on the stock ones 152,540 miles on....lol
