Anti-roll bar bushes?

[mattg]

Hi all, just a quick question,

Been having trouble with squeeking and knocking for a while and cant seem to get rid of it.

Only happens in a straight line and mostly turning right,the squeeking/squeeling gets faster as i go faster and slower as i slow down but cant pin point the problem.

I have replaced o/s drop link, o/s wheel bearing,(both genuine parts), inspected the driveshaft but no leaks and no play.

Only other thing i can suggest is maybe anti-roll bar bushes, are these common and would these cause knocking and squeeling.

I'm getting clunking noises from the back too so maybe roll bar bushes at the back also.

Sorry one last thing, my rear suspension seems to sit quite high too, if you look at the level of the car the ass seems to be in the air alot more than the front, its standard suspension.

Pleae help guys, rep waiting;)

squeekin/squeelin could be your dif mate.mine is makin a awful racket!

[mattg]

no dont say that, its only coming from the drivers side, when i put my head out the window it sounds like its coming from the wheel but bearings just been done.:wall:

[alex_dce]

brake disc/pad?

[mattg]

no replaced front and rear discs and pads with uprated drilled and grooved last month and still got the bloody knocking and squeeling.

[alex_dce]

might be worth replacin the anti roll bar bushes then,like u suggested.get a power flex poly set,there not much money,bout 30 40 quid i think.that way even if it dosent stop it itll improve ya nadlin a bit.got mine from larkspeed

Same here, £300 down and havnt solved my problem with steering yet:panic:

Front arbs are the same on vtr/vts/gti, i think thyre 22mm, same as the rear. Just get the powerflex ones for a vts, theyre good and at least you know theyll fit.

[ryhornvtr]

What ever you do, do not buy those yellow ones theyre too small. Get powerflex.

Not sure where to get them now tbh. Was about a year ago i bought a whole set from an ebay seller but dont know if they do the individual bushes. Kam racing do them with the wishbone bushes so could ask if they sell the arb ones separate, good luck though, im still waiting on a reply from them, been about 5 days now.
