hi people

seem to have developed a creaking on the front drivers side wheel. When I say back it off the drive the front wheel creaks. Also when driving slow over bumpy roads it creaks. Not really loud but loud enough.....any ideas

Insufficient torque on the driveshaft nut can cause creaking.....

The staked nut in the centre of the wheel......295lbs/ft.

check your wheel nuts are tight, this or a cract wheel will cause a creak

butn it ...... (Bob not arrived at this one yet....)

get underneath and squirt every joint/bush with WD40 probably wont fix anything but might stop the noise

Could also be wheel bearings or cv joint

spray soapy water on yer discs. . . . . .if it stops [brake bind] check brake pistons are not jammed [or a stone inside]
