Just wondering if anyone can help me with this.

The bravo's mot has expired (2 days before christmas ) and i'm just getting a few jobs done before the mot (little things like adjusting handbrake & changing the front panel that holds the radiator up!).

Now everything is done but i'm getting a creaking noise from the rear drivers side suspension/wheel arch area. I've had the car on the ramps and can't see anything obviously wrong & nothing looks worn (although there's lots of rust on everything).

Spoke to my brother in law who's a qualified grease monkey and he rekons its probably the rear anti roll bar, but tbh i can't see what could be creaking as its solid mounted to the trailing arms? are there any bushes for this anywhere and can they be renewed or would i have to fork ou for a new bar?

Also if it is the rear anti roll bar how do I get it off, it certainly doesn't look as simple as the haynes book of lies tells me!

Cheers in advance

Phil

Sorry its a Bravo 1998 1.4 SX if that makes a difference

the rear antiroll bar does not have rubber bushes that can be replaced, however in the first pic i have added a red arrow to the point where noise usually comes from (number 1 is antiroll bar). try loosening off the 2 bolts and greasing where the bar touches the mount to see if it affects the noise.

in the second pic you can see all the spare parts available, notice a lack of rubber bushes for the antiroll bar (they arent used).
