Post by: madmcmonk on March 21, 2011, 08:51:22 pm

Hi, I am experiencing a creaking noise coming from the off side passengers suspension arm or wheel, this seems to only happern when driving slow and turning the wheel. It drives me mad, but does'nt seem to effect the of handling. Some comments lead me to thinks the its bushes. The cars a 05 plate and only done 28,000 miles with one owner so surly can't be that badly worn!! Any ideas???

does your car have Xenons with auto levelling?  if so i had a creak on my car last year which i chased for a couple of months and it turned out to be the front levelling sensor which is on the front pass side
