It will be the roll bars that are squeaking now than likely. Maybe no tightened properly or the bushes not sat right.
You definitely don't want to undo arb bolts with van on the floor as the bars will be under tension, they wouldn't move much but you would never get the bolts back in without jacking up the bar to align the holes.
I would try checking them for tightness first in case any are loose

Thanks for the heads up Pauly. I will make sure I never go near the arb's when it's not jacked up or on stands!
All the bolts etc were checked last week when I changed from 20's to 18's and had a full hunter alignment done.
It was squeaking a bit before the change, but seems t have got worse. With the 18's on it's actually quite a bit lower, so was wondering if it could even bee the springs rubbing together?
If need be I'll take it back to the garage, but could do without the hassle.
Thanks again for the help.

Going from 20s to 18s won't change how much the spring compresses or anything to do with the suspension. Just less alloy height and tyre height holding the van up.
You need it on ramps to fully check.
Very good point @RattyMcClelland! Having thought about it in a much less knackered state of mind, it is now pretty obvious that the springs will remain the same?!?
