Hi All,

So recently I have noticed that my driver's side chair has started to creak when I shift my weight on it or go over bumps etc.The noise seems to be coming from the rear of the chair.

Has anyone else experienced this and knows what the cause and fix is? Its been like this for about three weeks and is driving me insane!

Cheers.

Hi Froggy,

Did you manage to get a solution with this?

I only just found your post and thought your problem sounded familiar. However slightly different that the creaking sound was actually coming from the rear end. I know you prob think im barking up the wrong tree here but maybe you can work out if it is in fact your chair thats making the noise by fiddling with it from the rear seat?

If it is in fact from the rear end (axle or suspension area) then let me know, cos I just had mine fixed!

Good luck!

Hey mate,

I have not had a chance to look any further into it yet. Ill take a look on the weekend but i'm pretty sure its the chair.

Update - So it definitely the chair. Sitting in the back and moving the front chair I dont get any creaking. When im sitting in the chair, the further I put the seat back the less the chair creaks to a point where it does not happen at all (the seat is almost all the way back).

Any ideas?

    • Happy new years folks! Wishing you all a successful year of money pit ownership!  So the subframe bushes are out....   Ok, who else has done that job before??  What a C U Next Tuesday of a job that is!  Be glad to not do that again in a hurry! I think I explored every option available to chop the middle section of the bushes out, most of them unsuccessfully! I dried a holesaw, die grinder, normal drill bit, air chisel, etc, etc. The true success happened by accident when I'd decided to try a step drill I spotted on the bench on the way passed.  See, there are benefits to never cleaning up after yourself! It RIPPED through so so much better than the drill bit. It has to be the skinniest one available so its small enough to fit between the inner tube and outer casing but it made easy work of it.  First one i hammered the shit out of... New method- 20250102_185506.mp4     I did the other 5 in less time than I fluffed around with the first one. I used the cut off saw (sawsall as the yanks love to call them) to cut a break in the casing. Even with that they're still a prick to hammer or air chisel out.  The last few i just went rambo with the air chisel without cutting them. I overcome one of the early ones so will hit the with the mig to fill the cut then sand it off smooth.  The carnage left over-   I've also been "nesting" ie, cleaning up my babies nursery,  ie cleaning the f**king pig sty of a shed. I've got that much shit laying around it's as cluttered as my head!  Getting things put away, in boxes, on shelves, hanging off walls, all to get some working space back again.  Hopefully that keeps me motivated....
    • AFAIK does the base map for Haltech even have the 4D compensation enabled? It's been a while but when I looked at it I remember it was actually using pure TPS as one load signal and MAP for another. Seemed workable but not ideal by any stretch. A lot of people have "make the event-itis" which leads to stuff like this happening.
