Re: Squeaky 105 front suspension

["Stella Chia" <stelc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Sid and Simon for your help.

It does sound like it coming from the inside lower A arm bushings.  Is there
some way to lube these as mine are about only 3 years old.  The roll bar
bushings are maybe 3 months old.

I put gear oil liberally on them but the creak is still there.  Why does it
creak in the first place and shouldn't the oil seeping in cure that?
