When was the last time you greased all the points on your mini?

[steveobennet]

if you do grease you mini regularly, then if possible raise it off the ground and look for anywhere you think it might rub

Also check the exhaust rubbers as they do squeak from time to time.

i have greased the nipples is there any where else that needs greaseing??

it could just be the damper squeaking, as one of mine has startd to squeak, and i had a look at it and it seems to have leaked oil so it needs replacing, you running standard dampers? try pushing the car down a few times on each corner to see which one squeaks.

wd40 did the ttrick i think we will have to see

Worn knuckle joints always cause a squeak...high pitched and very annoying. Check to see if the rubber gators have come away...the rear is especially prone to this and it is not easy to see, or sort out if the gator has popped off! If the gator has been off for any period of time then the knuckle joint will want replacing really, as it will be full of grit and will be worn.

My tip is if you replace the knuckle joints, use a bit of lockwire around the gator to prevent it easily coming off in future!

Don't use WD40 as a solution! Depending on where the squeak was the Dub Dee will wash out the lubricant that was already there. Where did the WD40 get sprayed when it did the trick?
