Creeking from front rhs suspension

[wayne_09]

When on full lock going up the drive way i get a horrible creeking noise on the front rhs, and also sounds like something is loose now and again whilst driving in a straight line? Anything on the suspension side i should check out?

Thanks

top mounts.... they can make all sorts of strange noises... like a knocking noise or creeking etc

also driveshaft/cv joints etc... it could be a number of things. get it on a ramp and have a good fiddle about

yeah will get it jacked up at weekend, and have a play by moving the strut around. It's not a knocking noise just a light noise now and again and more of a heavy noise on full locking whilst going up a kurb for instance. It's fine on full lock on smooth roads. Are they much top mounts?

Cheers

if it is your top mounts i doubt youl need new ones mate.

Its a design fault and the creeking can more often than not be cured but using a speacial sized washer or grinding part of the turret (Renault do this to cure the problem as they are aware its a design fault). wont do the car any harm so just ignore it or you could pay to get it sorted.

Ok cheers pal, i will have a gander this weekend. Can you tell by jacking the car up and seeing the problem? Just so i know what to look out for. Cheers Bud.

what bit do i grease up?

They have like a bearing inside underneath the washer. The creacking is caused by moisture but don't use just wd40 or else it will sieze, oil it afterwards.
