creaking noise from GGR rear arm bushes
Lately I noticed that the GGR rear arm bearings/bushes I installed make some creaking noises when the suspension arms move up and down. It seems like the metal sleeve where the bolt goes through is turning in relation to the suspension arm and making very annoying noises. Apparently this can be caused by stick-slip between the metal ball and its housing.
Has anyone else experieced this? Should I lubricate the metal ball? I've read that rose joints can make these kind of noises and lubricating them with WD40 can help. But if the joints are PTFE linered they should not make any noise and should also not be lubricated because it's not good for the PTFE. But I don't know if the GGR bushes are PTFE linered or not. I've emailed GGR already, but don't have a response yet.
