I recently passes nct had to change a bushing but lately when I go around a corner or the very high ramp there is a squeaky sound bit like an old bed noise

can't be bushing again can it or do I need oil somewhere thanks

Could be something, maybe a spring/shock/joint.
Things needs to be swapped occasionally and/or lubricated.

What car/year/recent work?

At that age it could be any other component in the suspension.
Try pushing down the front over each wheel and see if your hear suspension creaking.

do u think be a big job

Probably not a big job. You can try DIY or ask a mech or two for quotes to change the spring.
Or just live with it.. get a mech to have a listen first though.

Tbh, it may just need a good lubrication. It depends on what causes the noise really.

My guess would be the anti roll bar bushings at the rear. I had mine changed recently and they only were a problem when going over ramps or uneven roads. I would get some silicone lubricant spray and put some around the bushing area. If this temporarily fixes then it's most likely to be the cause.

Have a look underneath the rear and you will see the anti roll bar.
