Morris Minor Owners Club

I suspect that my car has the above on the nearside; the suspension squeaks whenever you go over a bump - but the noise disappears when it rains!

I've had a good look through the Haynes Manual plus Lindsay Porter's resotration manual. In neither book can I find specific instructions on the procedure for dismantling this part of the lower suspension.

Can anyone share the expertise and recommend a procedure?

PS - can I only place axle stands under the very front corners of the chassis, or can I place them further back - it's just that they get in the way for work on this area.

Many thanks in anticipation.

See the other topic on eye bolt bushes. If you use a length of wood to spread the load you can put the axle stand wherever is most convenient but make sure that the car is stable before you get underneath.
If teflon bushes are fitted to the upper or lower swivels it could be those which are squeaking

Initiallly- try spraying them with wd40 - or liquid grease. And yes - when chassis leg condition is uncertain - put the stands right at the front where it is re-inforced! Best to also put some old wheels/tyres under the car to catch it - just in case!
