   Hi guys before I hand my saxo vtr 2001 lowered I used to get this slight squeak from the drivers front side when going over speed bumps , at the time I thought maybe it was just the old spring on its way out .
   
   So with that I thought when I have it lowered it would go with the new springs an dampers ! I was wrong it's got louder !
   
   I've took the car with just the left side hitting the speed bump an have no sound what so ever but if I just take the right hand side of the car over the speed bump the I get the noise !
   
   It's only on speed bumps though so any little pot hole or drain then I still don't hear any think !
   
   Any ideas what could be causing this ?
   
   Cheers guys !

   Does the sqeak sound like its coming from your cockpit?

   Could be a few things, ARB bush, top mount, top bearing, ball joint, drop link, dampner or spring. Get it jacked up and get into the areas with a pry bar.

   Rear damper/s could be on their way out.

   I've had all new apex front an rear dampers an front springs ! Looks like it will be trial an error with just fitting new parts till I don't have the sound any more :/
