creaking from the front end

[Paradox]

Ive got a slight creaking when i move my steering wheel only slightly just wondering if the Top Strut Knocking fix will sort this? Also now theres a slightly louder noise comming from the front end when driving along? thanks

Could be various things, like if your moving the steering wheel, i could be the Track Rod End for example.

Is there anyway you can jack up the car put it on axle stands and shake the wheels?

I doubt the strut top mount fix will do anything. It could be top suspension mount bearings, steering rack, steering column, the list goes on, need to find out where its coming from.

Had a creeking noise on mine a year back, just oiled the anti-roll bar bushes and all was well.
Might be worth a go assuming 1.2's have AR bushes

Broken spring is another potential symptom of front end creeking and noise

i had a creaking noise coming from the front drivers side. it happened when turning the steering wheel left and right. and also when going over speed bumps. i had my bottom ball joint replaced for £115 and the problem has gone.
