Creaking

[Jon.G]

When going slow, for example turning in the road etc, on clockwise full lock the front end creaks. Sounds like its coming from the drivers side. Anybody any ideas?

Was a thread up the other week about this.

Mine was just the anti-roll bar bushes that needed a bit of lubing up. 2 minute job

funny, a lot of "creak" threads lately. I have it too, only thing is that i'm not worried about a full lock creak- because all of em do this. But mine has started doing this in hard 60 mph curves/cornering when the car shifts its weight to one side..

Also, in more threads, the AR bushes are mentioned and this is a relief to hear.

The car has done 70k+ so this sounds reasonable

Where can i locate and lube my A-RB bushings? Not too bothered as its only really when getting off my drive ect it will do this. Just would be nice to sort it. That other 'creaking' thread reminded me of mine, so thought what the hell ill try and see if anyone knows.

Its the round metal bar which cnnects the two wishbones cannot miss it if you get nder the car and look.

Mine does this too but has only done 10k - going to try the lube trick this weekend to see if it works...
