Stretching Rubber Noise when going into extended mode
Hey guys,
Got a strange cabin only noise of almost a stretching rubber noise when going into extended mode, I've listened on the outside the car with my wife inside highering/lowering the suspension and there's no noise, its only inside the cabin around the pedal area.
Ive had the lower arms & suspension arms replaced in the last 9 months and also had them checked out at my garage at my last oil service and they said they were a little dry so added some grease etc. Im still getting a lot of squeaking especially when it warmer dry weather - Is there anything I need to look at or another suspension part that needs replacing.
PS We had the front roll bar bushes replaced about 6 months ago too.

Probably is just the bushes etc stretching into the extended position as it's rarely set that high.
In dry weather, rubber bushes dry out. You can temporarily quieten them down with various sprays but they'll usually return. Then when the wet weather returns, and the air is damper, it all quietens down.
I really wouldn't worry about it.2021 L494 D300MHEV Autobiography
