Creaking noise

I notice when the weather warms up i get a creaking noise from what sounds like the front suspension bushes going over speed humps.
Goes away when the temperature drops below 20 degrees c.
I wondered if there is some kind of rubber lube that could be used or if there a faulty joint.
Well i have some silicon bumper spray or will try my trusty Lidl beeswax furniture spray.

Silicone grease is often used as a rubber lube, you can get it in spray form, however it’ll be difficult to get the lube all the way round the bush but use the little ‘straw’ and try to prise a little bit of the bush all the way round enough to get the straw as far inside the bush as possible, get plenty in there then go for a decent drive, the suspension movement will help to pull the grease round the bush. :thumbsup:
