So that's it?A bit of spray grease? Mine's been doing this worse and worse lately - especially when cold. Speed bumps are the killer.
Where should the grease be deployed?
Thank heavens for Vectra-C.com!

im pretty sure its the anti roll bar rubbers, which are easy to get to.
I did mine 2 weeks ago from just laying on the ground and squirting some in. It helped alot, but the squeek is slowly coming back now.
I reckon the best way is to jack the car up and take the rubbers out. I might smother mine in copper slip and then reassemble.
I have the same problem over speed humps on my 54 Signum. I have a feeling it's a problem with the lower suspension arms, they are about £100 plus fitting for each side.
Needless I will keep hold of my dosh and put up with the creaking for the time being.
Just did mine yesterday as they were load as hell, just removed the ARB bushes and greased them up, put them back in and jobs a goodun.
excellent solved one of my problems not only on the vectra c but the wifes nissan micra as well... Cheers

I've had this problem and it developed into a knocking noise, only seemed to appear after driving for a while....anyway changed the Anti-roll bar drop links and arb bushed and still had the same problem, removed a strut to check all parts for wear and found the steering bearings were well worn and causing movement, stuck a new set on and the noise has finally gone.........thank you god as it was driving me mad!
I'm just about to fit new front ARB.
Should I assemble the new bushes dry or grease with copa slip as some folk have done with their existing bushes?
Thanks,
Dave
Copper slip and the like will eat into the bushes overtime....i always use a silicon grease.
