Gents, about 3 months ago I replaced all springs, shocks, and bushes, including A frame, on my 89 RRC.I used standard springs, Bilstien shocks and Super Pro poly bushes. Initially all fine then after about a month I could hear a creaking from under the car when articulating the suspension ie going over the curb or a rut. I tightened the bushes as some seemed to have settled into place. The creaking then became what I can only describe clonk as if something was moving and the resettling back into place. I have rechecked bush and shock nuts all seem ok and springs seem settled in place. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Cheers Nick

Vehicle on wheels when bushes tightened but will slacken everything off, bounce, then retighten. A frame ball joint replaced at the same time.
Fitted Super Pro after much research and many positive comments so think they are reasonable quality. My only thought is are the radius arm to chassis bushes too stiff and not giving enough, causing arms to clonk in mounting holes? Please keep the suggestions coming as only a novice at this.
