creaking noise from front

[fernando172]

Got a nasty creaking noise coming from the front when the wheels are turning - only happens when driving though, not when stationary. Any ideas?

a drive shaft or a wheel bearing maybe

possibly the classic top mount squeek! does it happen on full to almost full lock? if so this is most likely.

 

[fernando172]

it is squeaky, and always happens on full lock - which bit needs replacing?

top mount beaings, not dear either.

mine has just started this, what happends if you dont reaplace it?

wheel falls off, engine blows up































joking, it just gets annoying tbh, so not alot. Not sure about MOT time though?

Akkkk mines also started doing this on full lock but only on hills...

have you tried greasing up the outer anti roll bar bushes. remove them and grease them internally. Was a commen fault with old megane but the 172 bushes are the same so worth a try.

cheers!!! this is the 1st renault we've had and still a bit green around the gills

i shall try that. mine only does it at really slow speeds and on full lock, but it does sound nasty.
