Advice - Creaking front end over speed bumps
QD MBE:
Anti-roll bar bushes creaking is my guess.
Steve Baker:
My GT needed ARB bushes replaced at 90K miles, no more Creaking :happy2:

--- Quote from: Richn83 on November 10, 2010, 10:34:01 am ---Yeah I remember your thread Garth, and that why I checked the springs. Is it possible to visually check the top mounts or do you have to remove the suspension? I seem to remember you had new springs fitted at the same time but what was the rough cost of replacing the top mounts? if you dont mind me asking :wink:
--- End quote ---
My top mounts were £45 and were fitted free because the springs were being done anyway. I think it cost £110 to change the springs, so probably the same to replace the top mounts :happy2:
I don't think it is possible to inspect them without removing the suspension
Richn83:
Right lots of good responses cheers guys, the good news seems to be that a number of people have the same noise and seems it can be lived with! And I will get it up on axle stands at some point soon and give the arbs and rest of suspension again.
Still want to hear any further suggestions and solutions people can think of. :drinking:

i had a similar creak happen on my car, it was creaking over bumps etc and it turned out to be the front leveling sensor for the xenons.
i was chasing it for weeks with the wd40 (thinking arb bushes etc) and when i finally found it a good soaking with WD sorted it
