Ive just had a new clutch & a new anti-roll bar fitted my car is really creaky as it goes along any1 know why?

It is highly unlikely that the creaking is from the clutch unless the creaking only happens when the clutch pedal is pressed.





If the creaking noise has only occurred since these repairs were carried out, depending on the type of suspension on this vehicle it could be the roll bar has been misaligned during the re-tightening of the fittings or the bushes are miss-aligned; or it could be coincidence and not related to the repair in question. To be on the safe side you should have the repairer take another look at it.|||Glad to help!

|||If it started after the new anti roll bar was fitted it is almost certainly the new rubber bushes in the bar. Take it back to the garage. If they know what they are doing they will squirt WD40 on the bushes which will stop the squeaks and actually help preserve the rubber.|||Sounds like the ARB clamp bushes have not been lubricated before fitting, maybe the clamp units are not tightly fitted, perhaps some of the suspension fixing bolts are not tight, or some of the components are out of line from their original position.
