Suspension Guru Needed Fg Ute Noise

[Davefg]

Had my fg ute for a while, had kings Ssl springs put in about a year ago and from day one it began creaking and being noisey. taken it back to the shop 3 times each time the noise not having changed after picking it up. Noise is a lot more apparent when driving slowly around car parks or going up gutters into driveways and stop start driving.

Upon inspection of the chassis the 2nd time I took it back they thought it was the eye bushes making noise so they over tightened the sh*t out of it causing the crush tube to rub on the chassis rail and somewhat recess itself into the rail, found this out when trying to drop leaf springs from hangers and couldn't, needed to remove entire hanger to drop spring.

Took it back a 3rd time and they confirmed it was all fixed, well noise came back a week later and when it was pulled apart I saw that instead of rectifying their mistake they just drilled a 20mm hole in the chassis so the crush tube wouldn't make contact with the chassis and covered everything in grease.

My understanding is the crush tube still rubs on the hanger creating a noise and the bolt only being 12 or 14mm (not 100% sure on size) is bouncing around not fitting snug in the chassis anymore.

The diff oil has been changed before and everything is super pro bushings.

I will call the shop and tell them to rectify but have since had no luck, I've made sure to get receipts stating they worked on it and tried to fix it. If anyone knows what I can do to rectify this it would be great, the noise is driving me nuts!

Thanks in advance

With lowered utes we find the diff loop on the exhaust can often knock and cause issues at low speeds up and down driveways etc etc

Unless the hoist being used is a 4 poster a two poster may bery well hide what's going on as all the wheels/suspension hang once lifted and obviously the diff lowers to

Have a look at the general area as we see it a fair bit and alot if it has an aftermarket exhaust

could be the leaf springs rubbing, mine did that for a while. had to separate the ends of the springs with a screwdriver and spray with lubricant
