Noisy front suspension mounts.

[Chipper]

Noisy suspension mount bearings. Got to the bottom of the noise when turning left or right. After inspecting
the bearing close up after being removed no wonder it was noisy. All quiet now and steering easier.

Had the bearings replaced a year ago for the same noise.

This year got the steering elements replaced: stabilisers, bolts and silent-blocks. Also got replaced front and rear coil springs and rear rubber disks which hold the rear coil springs. Driving is much more certain and quiet now. Van is 2007 and 170 000 kms mileage.

Hi Andresz
Mine a 2009 63K only had it 6 months. Water that gets in near the wiper vent ruins these bearings.
Do these vans suffer road noise. Had everything checked drew a blank even changed front tyres same sort of noise different on different surfaces. What's a silent block.
