Title: creaky leafs
Post by: just-boot-it! on December 08, 2013, 07:09:04 PM

Been out for a great days laning with the notts 4x4 response club today, mostly green ovals so I was representing jeeps, I noticed when the rear was articulating from side to side the leafs were creaking like fook. Am I right in thinking its the bolts that go into the chassis? Weird as they were greased when fitted.

you'd be surprised how quickly the grease gets ejected from suspension bolts. you could replace the bolts with greasable ones
