I used to have alot of squeaking from all over due to the rear end bushes having been assembled dry. Are you sure it's at the front?
If so then the rocker arm is from a Classic Mini trailing arm axle/shaft, complete with roller bearings and grease nipple - could be worth having a look in case it's seized up like they do on Minis
If it's not that then it's probably like mine which still squeaks a bit. Could be worth some disassembly and greasing. I doubt WD40 would get in very far although it's worth a try
I think stylussprinter has also said something about the bush tubes being too short and causing this - Rob?
Ive just come here several years later to say that the above info does not appear to be correct, although I remember it being told to me by one Peter Powell. Maybe I mis heard.The Mini radius arm bearing is 13H442 and is a needle roller at one end and a bronze bush at the other. However now needing to replace one of these bearings I think that it is actually from the Front suspension arm. The sizes tally along with the fact there are two of them. the shaft itself is likely also the same as it does not have the end on grease nipple that the rear one has. Of course even the application is near enough identical
So I'm just about to order myself a front suspension arm repair kit from mini spares
The needle roller bearings on my 97 stylus are 3/4x1x3/4" and labelled Torrington, which appears to tally with 25.4*19.05mm that as well as being sold for the front suspension is also sold for the Mini A series Idler gearStatistics: Posted by spegru — Tue Jul 19, 2022 1:12 pm
