Horrific noise detected


GINNO78

Recommended Posts

Ok been having a horrid noise on bad roads and when going over bumps which was driving me mad!!

 

Spent half hour under the car and have found that when I pull/swing up and down on the Uprated TRD ARB the rubber bushes squeak as they flex and grip the bar which is making a horrific noise on anything other than smooth motorway runs....anyone know what I can do to stop this?

 

Is it a common problem?

 

Its embarrassing sounds like the car is going to fall apart when going over bumps as it sounds more like a scrape/click when I go over bad roads...I have sprayed the Rubber bushes with WD40 ....not been and tried it yet to see if its improved...

 

Should I be able to remove it and grease up the bushes perhaps? What are my options?

 

Thanks

No as my problems are to do with the ARB bushes flexing against the ARB it actually improves the hotter the car gets, but initially the rougher the road the louder the noise! Drop links on mine are all good and everything on mine is Polybushed!

Guys incase anyone else ever gets this problem....after stripping the bar I realised the TRD ARB 's have individual grease nipples...where you can connect a grease gun upto them and pump the bushes with grease, after doing this the car is super smooth now and no scraping clunking sounds anymore
