Hi all

ok had this problem for awhile now an along with the nloody squeeking over the bumps this is getting to me lol

ok well when turning the steering wheel right i get a creek with literally each turn, it sounds like its coming from behind the steering wheel or wheel arch area an only does it when turning the wheel right which makes me think tracking rod ends? it happens all the time an creeks with each tiny turn right... any ideas guys.

cheers rich

T r end, Spring dry where it needs to rotate, drop link ball joint, favourite, or rear subframe front mount needs its captive nut rewelded, or is it just a dry steering column bush, top one

Have you replace any of your anti roll bar drop links..
I found this exact problem on a friends FL1 only last week... the problem ended up being the wrong drop link on the noisy side was fitted. (There are two different lengths).
It ended up ripping the cr4p out of his ARB bushes too.
