been driving my car a lot recently now the weather has improved however when driving it sounds like i have sooty and sweep in the car! squeaking over bumps is horrendous. I was wondering if it is bushes that are starting to deteriorate?

I have apexi limo coil overs 4/3 spring rates and stock arms and bushes currently. car is lowered about 30mm

Is it clear whether it’s coming from the front or back?

Tbh it sounds like it’s coming from everywhere! Read that I should jack up each corner then jack the wheels up and down and see what I can find. Just wonders if anyone else has had a similar issue

Oh right. That could be a good way to find out what’s causing it to be honest.

I know poly bushes can squeak but you don’t have them. If it was any bush I’d be inclined to think it’s a lower arm bush since it gets the most abuse. If it was subframe bushes then I would have thought it would clonk or knock, not squeak.
