EVO Elusive rear suspension squeak - solved.

I've had a small squeak in the rear end about half way into the stroke for a few hours so went to work on the linkages yesterday.

Checked all bolts - found a loose top mount. Squeak still there.

Pulled the linkages apart and re-greased, 50 hours since last re-grease. Found one rear dogbone bush that's case hardening has broken up, but other than that all good. Reassembled everything. Squeak still there.

Very nearly decided to just ignore it and assume it was an overflow hose or something rubbing, but resisted and kept hunting.

Tightened the bash plate bolts. Still there. Checked the rear engine mount - bolt was considerably loose. Tighten that and squeak is gone.

Glad I didn't blow it off!
