Squeaky suspension

So I noticed yesterday that my rr sport seemed to have developed a squeaky/groan when going onto my drive. Got up today and it had stopped but after about 5 miles it reappeared so looks like it comes and goes with warming it up. I have warranty through Land Rover but do you think it will be covered? Any ideas on what it might be? The rear ARB bushes have been replaced so doubt it’s them and it was quite squeaky when lowering to access mode

Rear hub bush makes a squeak when it's ready for replacement. That's the one that connects rear upright/hub to the suspension arms. Unlikely to be covered by LR warranty, sadly. Luckily, however, it's not an expensive job at a decent indy. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Would they

Just change the Bush? Would it be prudent to get both done? Obvs dependant on price. What are dealers usually like if they diagnose but you decide to go elsewhere would they charge?

I have the same problem and it has been diagnosed by my Indy as the front ARB bushes. They squeak when surface rust gets caught in the bush. My bushes don’t need replacing but that is all that will get rid of the problem. The Indy lubricated them with a silicon lube and the noise disappeared for a couple of days. This hot weather doesn’t help either and if you drive through water it goes away.

When I’m back from my hols I will replace them.

Not my front ARB bushes. All ARB bushes have been recently replaced

Easy way to check if it's a rear hub bush is to rock the car (reasonably vigorously) when it's sat on a level driveway. You'll hear the squeak and be able to pin point which side it is. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Would it also

require a 4 wheel alignment if replaced?

So Dealer

says its the rear ARB bushes and as they are only just over a year old they will be replaced under warranty Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

Really surprised it was them as OEM was fitted last yr in March so wouldn't expect them to start squeaking so quickly, they were however fitted by an Indy so maybe there was something about the way they fitted them....who knows!!

Hmmm. I bet it still squeaks shortly after they do the ARB bushes... 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
