rear suspension

[mattyg]

Hi all starting to get a groan from the rear of my car especially when i go over speed bumps. When the car is stationary and i press the offside rear corner i get the squeeking noise is this the rear shock absorber or could it be the anti roll bar bushes. What sort of job is this to tackle?

thanks in advance matt

squeking is probably gonna be shock ... or spring..

usually if its bishes you will get a clunk over ruff road and bumps..

Yep does sound like shock or broken spring. Not a difficult job, the ARB bushes & drop links can be a pain but as gaz says these give different symptoms.
Worth checking for any free play in the wheel before you take it all apart, this can be the top stabiliser bar.
