Creaking when on full lock and accelerating

[JezzaMac]

Not sure if this is the right section at all but il bash on and someone can move it if its not! Anyways Ive got a strange creaking when accelerating on full lock. I think its in both directions and only when accelerating! Any ideas of what it could be and way to check would be much appreciated!

thanks

Anyone have any ideas? I dont even know where to start.

Top mounts? Can't remember what it's called, search top mount washer, I'd find it but on my phone. Also why you accelerating on full lock?

Il have a look! U-turns, 3point turns etc

ARB bushes possibly jack the car up and have a look

I get this too, only full lock right though, left is fine.

Pretty annoying!

It is really annoying but ive got myself some top mount washers so il give that a shot and see if it helps! If not il have a look at the ARB like edde says!

Front anti roll bar bushes .

Ive put the top mount washers on and they havent done anything, ive looked at the ARB bushes and they look pretty good, ive got a feeling that its the CV joints on both sides! Anyways ive got some poor pictures and videos if that helps!

Now i dont know if these videos will be of any use but il upload them anyways the first one is putting some pressure on the bottom of the wheel and turning it and the second is wiggling the drive shaft and there is some play in the CV joint:

Has your car been swimming in the sea?

Top mounts i think creeked on full lock when i had it, gave you the new ones with it tho didnt i?

 

[JezzaMac]

Yea man i got them just need to get a chance to fit them, i tried the washers but that didnt do it! Il try changing the top mounts when i get a chance! If its not that then im thinking cv joints!

 

[Martyn_182]

Should hopefully stop when you change the top mounts
