bit of an odd one.

I have had the exige for nearly a year now and am trying to track down a few annoying rattles/squeeks. Whenever I go over a pot holes etc I get a chirp, just wondered if anyone has any ideas on whats causing the noise?

Thanks

Bird wedged in your suspension :slight_smile:

Any sign of tyres touching the wheel arches?

S1? Then it’s the famous & much loved “yip” generated by the oem Konis.

S2 - no idea :smiley:

Yes Joe I have something similar, not all the time but often enough, same noise. What I will say is that it was there before I had the suspension refresh wishbones etc and new dampers fitted and it’s still there now. I have no idea what it is…bloody odd though. A bit like most of the tossers on this forum :smiley: :wink:

You are lucky, your car is turning into an S1! Can you smell fumes as well?

its a 06 plate exige s on standard billies.

I remember reading ages ago that some after market shocks chirped like mine (might of been Gaz) which were then replaced under warrenty so Im wondering if it is the shocks

Thanks for the comments guys :stuck_out_tongue:

my suspension chirps sometimes as well, just had new Nitrons so it is unlikely to be them as it was the same before, I now think it must be the suspension bushes or one of the ball joints, I just turn the wireless up or use the loud pedal to get rid of it :wink:

Yeah, could just be a bush thing.
