    squeeky noise????

    Hi All

    I know it is difficult to diagnose via an explanation but has any one else had simular noises.

    I have concurns about a few things for the m.ot,

    When driving down the road I hear a squeek from the front off side suspension and occasionally a clunk. The car is lowered (by previous owner) Could it be a bush of some kind???? nothing looks obvious underneath condition wise. Im concurned it may be the top rubber mount part????

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks Phill

    Not so sure on the squeek mate but the clunk could be anything from a bush to a knackered control arm. Im affraid its hard to say without actually getting your hands dirty and having a look.
    Arguing is pointless....she may not be right but she's never wrong

    Tell her a remap is just having your satnav updated.....
