Going over road humps can hear squeaky noise from the front suspension.
Having replaced the front shocks to same brand as rears hoped it would cure the problem.
But when installing the shocks and having to push the suspension down to fit springs I discovered where the squeak was coming from.

Part 7 when part 6 in the diagram is pushed down.
When going over speed hump part 6 is pushed up.
It says hydro bearing, so anything special about these.
They seemed to have a lot of movement when the shocks and springs removed.
Seeing as this might be a common part to earlier version Zeds, are they a known problem.
