Hi, During the winter I renewed all the metalastic bushes on the rear suspension of my SE narrow- like for like not polybushes. I’m pretty sure they were the originals on there for over 20 years. Several of them had the bolts totally seized (effectively welded) in the bushes However now, whilst the ride might be better the noise is really bad, It squeaks and groans horribly on both sides of the car which it never did before. Any ideas please where to start to silence the suspension as I cannot live with it. I don’t believe it’s the shock absorber pivots and far more likely to be one or more of ten metalastic bushes. I did use copper slip on the bolts. Was that wrong? Too much or not enough? Is it more likely the noise is coming from the outside edge of the bushes against the chassis “U” brackets? I did torque up the bolts with the wheels pushed up. Might they need to be tighter? Has anyone any ideas please? Many thanks. Ian
