Hi - wonder if anyone can confirm my suspisions - I have developed a creaking noise - it's only really noticeable below 10 when driving and it doesn't matter what road surface. It doesn't get any worse going around corners or roundabouts.
When stationary I rocked the car and it's only coming from the drivers side.
I had the top mounts done last year and I have only done 200 miles since then
Is it likely to be the arb bushes?

Re: creaking suspension
Could be the spring in the seat of the strut, see if the spring has moved, the is a couple of notches were the ends of the springs sit. Also look for any rubbing on the paint of the spring when you jack it up.

Re: creaking suspension
Ok yep will have a look at this on the weekend - I did have the springs replaced when the top mounts were done so this is possible
Thanks
