Creaking suspension
Suffering a bit with creaky suspension/steering, mostly with low speed operation. 93k on the clock
It also does it, although not so severe, raising and lowering with some noise from the back as well as front.
As a starting point (and a job I can do myself) I intend to replace both ARB bush sets and have started on the rear. Heaving with a pry bar on the arms doesn't show any free play, nor in the drop links.
Any other points I should be looking as I have the rear and then the front up with the wheels off?A visitor from the dark side, my other vehicle is an is still an EV. Strictly speaking its SWMBO.

Mine is nowhere near as bad as that, one of the problems is that I can’t get any significant sound when static on the drive no matter how I push and pull. Even my near 20 stone won’t do it.
The raise/lower sound is almost a ticking as if the bush is jumping as it moves round the ARB. They just don’t look that bad.
I have some original rubber type replacements having seen at least 2 videos of polybush ones absolutely destroyed after a relatively short time. If it goes through the MoT test I will leave it for later but I think the tester would have to be deaf to miss it.A visitor from the dark side, my other vehicle is an is still an EV.
