Technical Marea Weekend Suspension

[rockhampton]

Not so good - the rear brakes seem to be a common one as both mine and Claires failed their previous MOTs with that.
I think I'm gonna buy a pair of drop links and fit them - it's worth the risk or £25 or so to see if it cures the noise compared to replacing the whole ARB - they look straightforward to fit - is that the case or does anyone have any tips I should know? Drove it 350 miles today - no noise at all on the motorway, just when you go around town.
Good luck with the MOT work!

There was something about the ARB being able to move laterally between the bushes - and it causing a knocking noise. Common on the Multipla (uses very similar setup to Marea). The cure for that was to weld some tabs onto the ARB to stop it moving, or to put some heavy duty zip ties on it.

Thanks for that.... I've ordered the links, so I'll do them a week Friday.... if it still creaks, I'll try out the zip ties.... failing that, It'll have to be the bar!

Cheers,
