I've had the car up on ramps today & apart from knackered looking rear Pitman arms & anti-roll bar links, everything looked fine?!

Any advice on how to track down the source of this 'creaking' sound would be appreciated.

Its definitely suspension linked, you notice it going around corners, over speed humps etc. Its VERY audible!!!

Any comments would be much appreciated guys!

Thanks

Springs?

It has been suggested by AndyE that it could well be the top mount.

Will investigage today - hopefully!

Now I've changed the pitman arms (see separate post) the squeak has disappeared.

They were completely shot!

Next up to change the rear anti-roll bar links, they are also shot!
