I did the same job , the creaking noise stopped but after 2 weeks it is starting back slowly. My vehicle is cranked at maximum height due to offroad use. Any advice? thanks .
Yes, like what I said in video you should do it again & use plenty - 2nd time I used Mobil 1 Synthetic Grease. Also how new or old is your Torsion bushing ? If new, there appears to be a 'Wear In' period. Also, an X-factor might be if you drive frequently in rain or do water crossings - those conditions will tend to wash the grease out, right ?
@@simonsafi7589 Simon, I'm curious are you in USA ? The MB new torsion bushings require wear in & lots of really high quality grease, Mobil 1 Syn being ideal. If you can't find it locally, be sure to look for Synthetic waterproof equivalent. It's quite the effort to drop the bushing tray & re-lube, so only use the best. Cheers - David in Texas
No I'm not from USA my friend , I live in Lebanon. I made a mistake when I didn't bought the mobile 1 synthetic grease instead I used the red Valvoline one. I drive always in deep snow so I'm gonna check the torsion bar again and replace the grease with synthetic one. Thank you very much for replying me.
@@simonsafi7589 Roger that ! Glad my little video helped out. I can't say Valvoline Grease isn't good enough - it MAY be. Also I had to use the Mobil 1 Syn twice so either I didn't use enough first time or we had so much rain & wet driving that washed it out BEFORE bushing wear in occurred. Hope that makes sense. Cheers from Texas to Lebanon !
Hello do you have a video of the noise? Or a more accurate description?

I have the same problem,. My truck is great but its the noisiest auto in our strata! I think my shock bushings are the culprit.
