i'm pretty much 100% sure it's my Jamex dampers making this noise, it's a high pitched sort of squeak that is more easily heard below 10mph when going over any sort of bumps in the road. seems to be just from the rear.

just wondering why the dampers are making this noise!? what part of them would it be?

it's annoying me now

cheers, chris

could have over tightened the top mount, doesnt need to be major clamped down.

Could try putting a small amount of grease on the piston, near the seal just to lube the top dust seal
