I have got one squeeky top wishbone bush, but I have had it checked by a local VW T25 expert ( you know who you are ) and I am told it is not worn or in need of replacement.

This expert squirted some rubber friendly lube on it but it hasn't cured it.

I had a look and identified the culprit bush, and decided to undo the nut for a better look. I drove it around the block with the nut just backed off slightly from tight and the noise had gone, but on re-tightening it to the correct torque, it comes back.

Any ideas folks ?

p.s. I hope I havn't upset the camber washer by loosening that nut, I only read that bit after doing it - typical !!

Replace, squirting them never does a thing.
Then, reset the camber!

Doh - I knew someone was going to say that

Those words "Replace and re-set the camber" belies the complexity of the job I think.

I understand they are spot welded in place, so I would need a grinder, a welder, a press and steering alignment hardware and figures. None of which I have !!

I wonder who around Chester can do this then ?
