Evening All, Never posted here before and only really browsed when troubleshooting. However I'm at my limit with a creaking sound I get at slow speeds when turning. I've had the car up in the air and there looks to be no visual damage to any bushes or components, there is up and down play at the drivers side front but nothing excessive and no play anywhere else. The noise is very hard to pin point when going lock to lock whilst stationary and changes depending on where you stand. After pulling my hair out I took the car to a garage (ATS) to see if they had the same issues as me trying to find the noise. The mechanic comes back and says he thinks it might be my steering rack, however, the steering is still light to turn, very smooth and has seemingly no play when checking side to side play at the wheels. The noise is non-existent when the car is in the air. Are there any checks you guys could think of to either cement that it is the steering rack or would you recommend me carrying out any other checks? If it is the steering rack, where would your go to place be to buy one?
