[928uk] Rear Suspension Squeak

[Andy Elvers via 928uk]

Adrian,

I have no idea.  It was replaced at Loe Bank Motors.  I'd be surprised if
not but I am wondering if a component has perished.  It's very hard to tell
if the noise is coming from the top of the shock or the bottom.  You really
have to drive it to be able to hear it.
