    Had my car lowered 40mm front and back on spax springs and torsion bar, now there's a creaking coming from the passenger side suspension? it's only over bumps and drain covers etc when the suspension's actually disturbed, any ideas what it is and how i can sort it?

    my sax did that,were the roll bar bolts on to the lower arms.just take the plastic things off the ends clean em up wire brush or what ever and grease em. jack up both sides of the car so its even ,its easyer to bolt em back down

    Had this issue with my bottom arm rear mounts fit under the floor aprox under where your feet are when driving. The rubber bush splits when lowered bacause of the different position of the arms (and they are probably old etc). Spray wd40 onto them - if noise stops thats your prob. Fit 2 new arms (they come with ball joints so that's another job ytou don't have to worry about for a while).
