It’s something you could try, for little money and rule out. This was my thoughts too. Never had an advisory re: suspension, and my mechanic friend has given it the once over, as did an Indy a couple of years back.

The Febest bushes were £45 on eBay. Droplinks are cheap enough. All easy to replace. You need splines, M12 or 14 from memory for the ARB.

When I disconnected my ARB from the droplinks and rotated it in place, you could hear the creak I’ve come to know well. Especially in the colder months.

Re: the noise without the undertray. At all speeds it’s not noticeably different. Surprising given the TDi lump.
