I had an almost identical problem (rattling in the back like someone left a spanner in the boot).

I took it to Pedders Suspension and for $14 they did a 28 point safety check (taking particular attention to the bushes/etc).

They said everything was 100% and the bushes were ok, only suggestion they had for the noise was coz my suspension is all adjustable they thought their may have been abit of movement.

But if there is some sort of grease/paste i can use on it to remove the noise then i might go back their and get them to investigate.

What do i need ?

mine did the same thing too.. rear left... problem was it was leaking oil. After driving on it for another 3000km, i decided to replace it as it was making the car go all over the road.

After I pulled the springs off I could tell why it drove like shit. There was basically no rebound at all.

Looks like it will be an easy fix.  Next chance I have I'll pull it down and have a look spread a bit of silicon grease about and hopefully the squeak will be gone.

TAKE IT 2 PEDDERS, IF U WANT THE JOB DONE CHEAP U HAVE TO PULL YOUR BACK SEATS, REAR PARCEL SHELF OUT 2 GET THE SHOCKS OUT, SO IF U TAKE IT IN SOMEWERE AND UVE GOT EVERYTHING OUT YOULL PROBABLY SAVE $100 ON LABOUR COSTS, ONCE U HAVE PULLED EVERY THING APART IT ONLY TAKES ABOUT TEN MINUTES TO PULL THE SHOCKS OUT

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.

      Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.

      Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual

      Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.

      There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
