We popped to surf blue today to get my wiggly speedo looked at and since we came back the bum of the car is squeaking.

I'm had a search and i think it could be the suspension, the road to Surf blue is a bit lumpy bumpy and i may have hit a few pot holes :D Have i damaged something? and will it survive till sunday (when i have my test in it.)

What do i look for under the bum of the car (in idiot terms please :)* ) to check if it is the suspension thats pooped. She seems lower at the back than the front but she was like that when we brought her.

It could be worn dampers (shock absorbers) or the actual suspension components themselves. I think it's the knuckle joints that can cause a squeek when their dry and worn out?

When was the suspension last greased too? If the rear radius arms have never seen a grease gun then they could be the culprits too I imagine?
