    Default suspension noises

    Hey all

    My suspension has been making funny noises and I am saving up for a new set, but just thought i would see if i should worry (cause I am paranoid)

    The front drivers side makes bad noises when I go over bumps and if i bounce on the front it sounds a bit like people bouncing on an old spring bed (you know what i mean ). I asked one guy and he said it is probably just some dirt on the bushes or whatever but slowly it is getting worse. So what do people think? Is it possible bad bushes because the whole system is probably 20 years old or so. Or is it something worse, and if it is worse what would be the worst thing that could happen? Wheels fall off?

    Thanks

    uyeah mate, generally creaky squeaky noises are dry/dirty bushes, take them out, hit them with a good dose of grease and see if it doesnt shut the bastard up

    yeah ok, thanks guys, so it isn't anything too drastic that is gonna cause me woes if i take a month or so to get my new suspension on?

    It sounds nasty sometimes, but it is still creaking and squeaking

    I will always change to a new set of bushes for a 20-years old car
