hi guys
newbie question but how do i know if my fig 8s are on the way out have a very slight squeak noise cming from front of car ever now and then but not sure what it is. had a quick look underneath but cant see anything obviously worn. any help would be great

thanks

It's hard to tell for sure in the early stages. Squeaks and knocks are first signs of Fig 8 but they are also signs of other components wearing too.

Start off by jacking the car and removing the wheel. Grab the spring and twist it. Look for signs of movement anywhere
then try to twist it by twisting the brake caliper. If nothing's moving have a poke about with a pry bar

While you're there check for play in the ARB bushes and give them a bit of a grease - they're another common cause of squeaks and clunks

thanks mate il try that tommoro so.
wil let you know how i get on.

hi all
Just got round to messing wit the car today put some grease on the arb bushes and on the first spin heard no squeaks so hopefully thats it sorted.thanks for the help
