Consistent old bed spring noise coming from front of 2003 X-Type
Dudes,
I am hearing an old bed spring noise coming from the front of the X. Weird thing is, you can't hear it when you first start driving. Then as I go about 10 miles or so, it starts up and you can hear it over every little bump. Even when I stop, you hear it as the front end goes up after the cat comes to a full stop. I sprayed white lithium grease over the shocks and springs, didn't help. Is this a common issue, any ideas? I am not feeling any difference in handling.
Thanks

HUmy, I would try applying a little bit of grease to the lower A-arm bushings on the front end. From what you are describing, that is your next most likely source of the noise. We can then take it from there.
