Title: creaky steering
Post by: njdudsbury on January 21, 2016, 02:12:55 pm

Only does it a low speed and when parking. Only on left turn. Definately coming from baulk head area. Creaking and occasional knock. Seen posts on bolts loose on wishbone mount. Any ideas?

Could be Top Mounts and Bearings so worth investigating those.

Best bet is get it up on a ramp and have a good look around working your way in from the wheels checking Track Rods, Driveshafts etc. Loose Subframe Bolts can also cause knocking so would be worth tightening those up while you're under there.
