Squeaky springs

Hi All

Our bus is slightly lowered (bought as such)....the near side creaks and groans like crazy on bumpy roads...would it be the springs in their seats? Shock absorbers?!?

Anyone had this noisy annoyance? Anyone know how to quieten things down?

Thanks!
Phil

Classic T3 noise ;)
It's probably the top wishbone bushes

Agree with the upper wishbone bushes. As for the remedy.... , replace the bushes. This involves wishbone out the van. follow this link to the wiki section and/or haynes manual is your friend. It's quite straight forward if you have access to a welder. :ok
