Squeaky suspension - RRS SC 05 - Soundsl like old bedsprings

I get this when I go over speed bumps in particular or uneven surface a at slow speed.

I haven't tested this fully, but the noise seems to lessen if the car has been through water etc (I'm assuming something is being lubricated)

Anyone know if this is the bushes, ball joints and what the cure is? Range Rover Sport SVR - Santorini Black

I posted the same question in Technical. My 2009 HSE squeaks like crazy. Just sitting still with engine running and stepping lightly on brake then gas, it squeaks (like you say) like bed springs. Any ideas from anybody?? mike murphy

it could be that one of your brake calipers has siezed, i had a sqeeky sound on mine, and one of the rear pads ahd worn down to the metal, while the other pad, the one with the sensor on, had hardly worn at all, a gentle tap with a big hammer cured it Mr. Green 07,TDV8,Black, Black Heated leather all round, Rear Entertainment with Headpones & Remote, TV, DVD, Pure Dab Digital Radio, Sidesteps, Adaptive Headlights, sunroof, now working fuel burning heater Smile)))

Found out squeaking problem and its the front sway arm bushings which will be replaced next week. Didn't expect it on a 2009 with 25k miles. Oh well. It will be nice to have the car quiet again! mike murphy

My old RRS used to make the same noises as described by the OP. Quite embarrassing when pulling up outside school etc as it sounded like I was driving a squeaky brass bedstead Evil or Very Mad

Eventually it was tracked down to an ARB mounting that was not as tight as it possibly could be Thumbs Up

Hi

Had exactly the same problem with my 59 plate RRS which was more obvious the warmer the car became. Had independent garage extract front wishbone swinging arms and check bushes (which were ok) and completely re-lubricate only to have squeak return within an hour of leaving the garage. After much searching and re-searching both the garage and I came up with the front roll bar bushes were the culprit. Land Rover know about this common problem and have upgraded the replacement bushes with a polypropolene type instead and so far (a week later) no noise and car feels better and tighter in the steering.

Noise was really annoying and squeak got louder and louder
