For some time now GV owners have been complaining about the front suspension arm bush failing. The unit has cracked causing a banging noise during travel while going over bumps.
At first this was thought to be a bye product of GV owners going off road with suspension lifts. It was soon found that even un modified GVs that did not go off road were also destroying th bush.
Being suzuki dont like Warranty claims it was very rare to get these replaced under warranty around the world.
The only way was to fix it was to replace the whole suspension arm at $380 a side!!!, some have found cheaper ways but they still involved replacing the arm at a couple hundred per side plus fitting.
Outdoor Auto has sourced a replacement bush that is stronger than the original.
The bush made for OA4X4 is the only one on the market
