Creaking noise

speary · 06-20-2006, 04:06 PM

When turning left slowly, say in a car park, as I straighten up there is a creaking noise coming from around the right rear wheel. I also get a squeaking noise from the same area when going over rough roads at low speed
Anybody any ideas what it might be

hard to say... is there any play in the hub/wheel bearing?? jack that whell off the ground and is if theres any play??

Could be a dry ball joint and damaged??

CV joints?? drive shaft??

Could be play in the brake disc ??

Could be a number of things?? suggest getting under and have a look..

Cheers

Spayed all the bushes at the back with a rubber/nylon lubricant and it seems a bit better. The squeak has gone but it still creaks on a slow tight left turn
Just a note on the sway (anti roll) bar. I had mine replaced under warranty due to a design fault. It doesnt seem to be missing any bolts
Thanks for the help
