Evora suspension and other noises.

Mine has developed a bit of a creak recently, only really noticeable at slow speed, but will get B&C to have a look when it goes in for service.

Any update chap? 

Yep, got the car back from Hofmanns this afternoon. Turned out to be the spherical joint at the bottom of the upright, new one fitted & now perfect silence from the suspension.

Cheers chap. I'll let them know to have a look at it.

Inkyfingers did you find out where the creak came from? I'm still trying to find out whee the noise comes from at the right rear on mine

[Inkyfingers]

Yup, replaced both front anti roll bar bushes and all sorted.

For now

The Evora eats ARB's especially if they are not lubricated properly

ARBs or ARB bushes?

So I've heard, but as my mileage isn't huge, I'm not overly concerned.

 Is this issue a result of having such a stiff chassis?

No idea why, but you would think a stiffer car setup would mean the ARB's move less so putting less strain on the bushes. It seems lubrication is the main issue so maybe it is a location thing where they dry out ??

Are you referring to part number 3 (Deroure part page rear suspension) rubber mount or part number 2 drop link when you say ARB bushes? Sorry, non-native speaker (or useless mechanic) question....

[agentdr8]

ARB bushings are part # 3.

Thanks!
