Hi,
I was hoping I could pick some collective brains on this one please?
I have recently done a light re-furb on my 4200 suspension. Stripped/powder coated springs, new bushes etc.
Having re-assembled I've found an fairly loud, annoying creaking from the front suspension.
Having checked it isn't the new anti-roll bar bushes as it still makes the noise with the bar disconnected.
On further investigation it appears that the bottom of the dampers are making contact with the bottom of the 'pocket' they sit within in the lower arm.
The dampers have new bushes fitted, they are the Superformance solid rubber type rather than the original spherical type. They are the correct bushes listed for the Maserati.
I noticed that AV engineering recommend this type for fitting to Ferrari's (according to Aldous's website) so I thought they should be fine.
They don't appear to be deforming or anything, it just appears there isn't enough clearance.
Any thoughts?
