I replaced the both side rubbers with poly ones and didn't grease them over 2 years ago, car has only 18,000 klms after full rebuild, only drivers side squeaks ,vw54 wrote:Rubber grease is best but you will have to pull apart to insert grease
most probably the rubber is worn needs replacing
you can prob get away with removing the end cover n fitting new rubbers with grease

When checking the squeak at first thought it was from the front, but on checking found it to be the rear drivers side, passenger side is ok at the moment.vw54 wrote:Have you stood on the rear bumper n bounced it around to check noise

I tried that and it didn't work, what I did find was that the end cover over the suspension torsion bar is not in the centre of the cover plate and I cannot put a feeler gauge between it and the cover plate. so something is amiss,vwo60 wrote:Try a silicone spray on the bushes, it has always worked for me, jack the car up on stands and unload the bushes, it can do no harm and will work without dismantling the suspension.
