What is that annoying creaking over the passenger side!?

[Emma&Al]

For as long as I can remember, my Caravelle creaks - sounds like the suspension? It gets worse over bumps but its pretty much constant - sometimes its less when the vans been driving for a while, or its warmed up a bit,
What is it and can it be somehow oiled?!!

Sounds like the wishbone bushes might need replacing.

HI Rob, do you know if they are expensive if done at a garage? :-/

[R0B]

The bushes are not that expensive its the labour charge that will cost you.The camber will also need to be reset.

[Emma&Al]

OK, thanks, I just looked them up on JK and it says around 30 quid for 2 (for one side)- i have no idea how long theyd take to refit, so yes, labour ontop would be the thing. Eeeek.

Stick with Brickwerks. I think they supply OEM Lemforder. In the meantime try silicone spray on them

lived with my sparrows nest for several years, tried silicone spray and it doesn't last.
I have heard that new bushes can squeak.

I get an annoying creaking from the passenger side but I've learned to zone it out. Secret of a good relationship I'm told. Just say yes every so often

Brickwerks supply all you need to replace the bush
I was charged £55 to fit one bush and I supplied the bush.
Use JK for camping stuff by all means, but when it comes to parts use a quality supplier

I "lived" with mine for a couple of years, but finally caved in (a while back now) and paid a garage to fit them. I was very glad I did because when the noise is gone you just feel better driving the van. Like, it's not a creaky old thing any more.

I can't hear the squeak now. The noise of my creaky knees drowns it out.

It'll take more than a new bush to convince me I'm no longer driving a squeaky old van. If only it was that easy!

[Ant-t]

I've just had mine replaced as both sides failed on the mot, it was pretty sweaky in the cab before they where done. The handling is much better now

[DoubleOSeven]

Mine is more of a whining noise, but same as, just saying yes dear seems to sort it.
