I took my LE500 in after receiving a letter from MG to get the suspension looked at, the dealership (in uxbridge) couldnt give me a specific reason as to why the suspension had to be inspected. And now ever since the work has been done i have been left with squeeky suspension! Cant say im too happy about it as living in london im up and over speed bumps most of the journey and hear the sqeak everytime. Not sure what to do or how to sort it out
Ever since I put the rear subframe back after shot blasting, painting and renewing various components it developed a squeak which got progressively louder and drove me nuts.
Over a weekend I systematically removed and checked each individual moving/pivoting suspension part, lubricated under all the rubber boots to no avail. It was only when I was re-checking I noticed the the squeak was slightly louder when the boot lid was open.
I found the noise was coming from the top of the suspension towers where the top shocker mounts with the rubber bushes.
I removed the rear suspension struts and the only thing I thought it could be was the 4 top shock absorber rubber bushes, they looked OK but I replaced them with pollys from Rimmers "part No.: RNF100090LPOLY" and voila; absolute smooth silence.
