This is a little embarrassing but....
Had rear springs replaced by ARB Penrith years ago and they got squeaky rather quickly, injected grease and they settled a little but were still noisy and I just got used to it. Had numerous wheel alignments done and had "professionals" check them out and grease them etc. and nothing spotted as unusual.
Decided enough was enough and bought some new "superpro" greaseable shackles. Read the instructions and fell off my chair. The shackles on my Nav had been installed the wrong way around the whole time. The dog leg is supposed to be on the inside not the outside. Could not believe it.
Did the install and the old bushes were shot to pieces, metal to metal contact every where.
It is now so quiet and smooth it's like a new one. Rear suspension is smoother than ever.
Frustrating when you get "professionals" to do a job and they F#@K it up.
