Good grief creak creak..

Wtf. When my l320 supercharged is driven for a while in warm dry weather the suspension starts to creak like nothing else. It’s a right Beamer driving through towns…
I’ve doused as many rubber joints as I can find with silicone spray but it still won’t shut up. Today I noticed two more joints that I can see inside the rear from above the rear wheels when on off-road height so I gave them some lube too so let’s see what happens.
What and where are the joints that creak - the noise on mine seems to be high up at the rear somewhere. Bloody nuisance. Ta.

Almost certainly the anti-roll bar bushes (although could be other suspension bushes, these are the usual culprit) 2014 BMW 530d Touring, 2006 BMW 650i, 2018 Mini Cooper S

We have an L320 at the shop that the left rear upper knuckle joint is creaking like nobody’s business. Basically if it can move, it can creak. 2011 RRS HSE Luxury 3.0 TDV6 Fuji White on Ebony/Ivory

I may have sorted it. The bushes I mentioned above the rear wheels that I soaked today don’t seem to creak anymore. I’ve got to got into London on Friday so I’ll know for sure as it’s a longer trip.

Get a syringe and needle, fill it will oil I used gear oil my self as iv plenty in the garage then inject 1 ball joint at a time. Upper and lower joints on the drop links etc and see how it goes.

Usually are bushes especially in the summer it seems but iv stopped mine creaking recently doing this.

I think those "Knuckle Bushes" are more of a bearing than a bush, lubricating them may help in the short term, but If they are the culprit and worn I think the ideal solution would be replace them.
