Creaking suspension

[Finnon]

I have replaced the front shockers on my car recently and it has also just passed its annual test but it still creaks when it comes to a stop.

the annual test includes testing the lower/ upper ball joints and the track rod ends

so could the arb drop linkis cause this creak? as its really annoyin. how much are they? any links to shops that would ship to the uk? this creaking is sooooo embarasin lol

Creaks when it comes to a stop? Can you tell if it is from the car moving up/down when the weight transfers from stopping, or does it just make the noise when you are braking? It might be the brakes. Just a thought

Mine does something kind of similar, but more when I drop off of the curb from my driveway. I've had my front end up on jacks, and there's nothing when I try to wobble the wheels by hand, but I hear a loud creaking when I back out of my driveway and drop off the driveway into the street.

Is this possibly the same thing Finnon is hearing?

well it happens to mine when the car comes to a stop and the front end goes down then back up. I should imagine itd do the same as shytheed dumas's car if i had a drive way like his.

Sounds like it could be brakes.

nah its not a brake noise as it changes when the car's nose moves up and down. its deffo a suspension related noise. the brakes squeal on mine as i have no shims etc fitted but this is deffo suspension related
