Hi there,

as mentioned before, I just got my 2005 produced RRS. Its a first edition, and I it seems to be a great car. One thing that is a bit nerve wrecking is a heavy squeek, I guess of the air suspention, while going slow in "off road" terrain.

Is this something known? What can I do? Is there some regular maintenace for the air susption? The car was at official service early december just 2 kkm ago.

Regards and thanks,
Tomi

Hi Doc,

reading your other posts, I thought your wonderfull car doesnt burn.

It will be burning if it doesn't start working

tomi - can often be the rear suspension joints that are in the rear knuckle that squeak (water can get in them and wash all the grease out). Worth a look if you ever take the wheel off - it is difficult to see them otherwise. The way I have found to check is to open the tailgate and jump up and down on the rear of the boot floor. If the suspension squeaks, then it is probably these. ===============================
Unfortunately cannot afford an RRS(!), But I get to borrow my Boss's LR3 and RRS!

Especially if you jump up and down in the rear loadspace.

had my suspension bushes replaced at the front due to an inferior bushing used in early production models.

Do a search for "bed springs" (no joke) and read that thread. L319 D4 HSE
