steering noise?
« on: 18 June 2012, 07:15:45 PM »
Bit of a creaking noise from passenger side, when steering is turned from the straight ahead position.

No other clunks or bangs!

Any common causes?

Thanks.

Mr L.

Drop Links and anti-roll bar bushes is the usual culprit.

Check for broken springs too.

Eventually got the noise sorted .. It was the front strut top bearings.

£124.00 to replace both.

Timing belt next month. :(
