top wishbone mounts
Hi all, i have just fitted new top wishbone bushes to stop the terrible and annoying squeaking, but it`s still doing it. Anyone know why? and how to stop it? Thanks.

There are a few rare times, when the stabilizer bushighs squeak.
However I have squeaky new(ish) Lemforder control arm bushings. They started to squeak after a few hundred kms.
Still not found out how to quiet them.

Re: top wishbone mounts
I had newly fitted mounts start squeaking within not too many miles. Eventually I replaced those with these from the USA https://gowesty.com/products/gowesty-up ... g-full-set
They are pricey, but should last a long time. Don't have to weld them either.

Jus checked mine. The spot welds gave up that is why it squeaks:
