Hi guys,
Some will have seen that I have a little hydro 850. It has a suspension noise on both sides, front and rear, probably worse on the left. The best way to describe it is like a gremlin chuckle, set about more by by sudden bumps. I've had everything apart during the resto, nothing abnormal was seen and it is pumped up to specification height.

It was making the same noise before I stripped it down and the car has only done 25,000 miles, so everything looks pretty much new and unworn. I've sprayed some CRC around and it seems like it is improving slightly. Has anyone solved a similar problem?

Regards
Al

did you replace the knuckles during your restoration? if not, they're probably pretty dry...

from what I remember of Gremlins, I guess the noise from those could sound like one of them chuckling....
