Now that i have your attention...............
i have noticed that the rear end of my 2.1td estate squeaks when i go over bumps, for example when you 'drip' down the far side of a speed bump and it also squeaks when i bounce the back end of it by hand.
Is it a common thing or not?
Last time i was under there i sisnt see any greasing points that i remember on theything let alone the rear suspension with all it s fangled bushes and link arms etc.
Any ideas on where is best to begin as its doing my head in now!
Thanks
squeaky rear end!

Check the condition or the rear antirollbar bushes; they cost about £10 from memory and it's not a bad job to do. I had the same squeak & found that they had completely disintegrated!

HI,
According to the trusted (and I do) local taxi garage who run may of these cars,
The large bush in the hub where it meets the bottom wishbone can go with high mileage/heavy use.
Mine's due for this shortly. Special tool jobby they say.
I've watched them jobs in minutes that would take me days!
