RRS HSE 2011 Auto with 140,000 miles.

I bought this car back in October and not really had any major issse with it so far.

It has developed a creaking noise when going over bumps both at low speed and high. the vibration of the creak can aslo be felt through the steering wheel. this only occurs when the vehicle has warmed up over 30 mins of driving. It sounds as though it comes from the front but not sure which side. it also creaks when lowering and lifting the car to the differnet suspension hieghts (hopefully video link works)

I had the car in at my usual independant for service/MOT/Gearbox flush (slugish gear change, problem solved) but they couldn't replicate the creak but also could not see anything obvious.

Grateful for any advice and if thee is anything i can easliy do to narrow down the fault.

THanks

Bushes by the sounds of it mine (front) have been replaced under warranty as they were only done last March by an indy. I don’t think they were cleaned and lubed properly on replacement

Sounds like what I’m having, also the same as others with bushes drying out in heat.
Only happened since the good weather.
Have tried spraying with silicone spray only fixes it for few hours.

^^^^^^ This. Or wait for lots of rain.

Same noise as mine. Steve.

Mine as also started creaking since the hot weather.

And ours.. my X5 did it too last year but for some reason not this year.

Mine is a 2010 RR Sport with 62k and makes the same noise in the summer. sounds like a wwII tank at low speed. My ARB bushes are 1 year/6k old too.

I bit the bullet and had the bushes replaced, got my sanity back! 2018 Telsa MS

Eventually the creaking and groaning became so embarrassing i had the ARB bushes changed out today. The parts are only £20 plus of course 90 mins labour but at last the suspension is quiet once more....steering and handling definitely a little sharper too
