Developed a slight squeak after long run.........

[bearne1]

..............nothing major but have a slight squeak after my 1 hour commute from work towards the end of the journey. Don't think it is the DS2500's but certainly sounds like its the front end. Have rocked the car from standstill and shaken the engine with no noise, no squeaks, etc.

Any ideas what this could be?

Have replaced the ball joints within the last 12 months but not the bottom arms. Wondering if it may be suspension bushes?

squeeking when braking? turning? accelerating? or all the time?

Would say more turning but occurs randomly. Have gone over speed bumps and had no issues (hoping not shocks as had them refurbed less than 1 yr ago!)

more than likely top mounts then, you done the 6 and 12 check?

No not yet - planning to take wheels off tomorrow to have a good look. Once these are shot I think its time for STM's!

i got k-tec ones, can vouch for them, but if i had more cash id go for adjustable ones, wouldnt need camber adjustment bolts then

Oh right cool, front end does feel a bit loose so these would probably help!

Thanks v much
