jimmy1280 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Hey guys Been on a long day outs drive today and I have noticed a creeking noise when I steer but only from left to right not the other, the noise sounds like it's under the car from say the rack area. Does anyone have any thoughts or experienced the same issue Just to add my car is a 2007 HR with 34000 miles Thanks again for any comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Could be numerous things including the steering column coupling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy1280 Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Thanks I really don't think it could be a rack problem sounds like a dry joint of some sort to me, there goes my weekend investigating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs2000 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Power steering fluid? The system can make some weird creaking noises when you get towards full lock if the fluid is low. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy1280 Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 Hi Thanks for the suggestion I've checked level and it seems ok, I'm gonna change fluid as matter of course. The creeky noise still happens when the car isn't running but as I said only one way it's strange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs2000 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Yeah, doing it one way is indeed odd. Check the condition of all the rubber bushings in the steering/suspension setup. Droplinks and the like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy1280 Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Just an update guys it's not the drop links, both changed and still the same noise, interesting it doesn't do it when up on the ramp with wheels in air, still can't work out where it's coming from :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy1280 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Final update all diagnosed now it's the compression arm bush, completely collapsed and can only see it in a certain position. Order placed with Clarks, thanks for the input you lot :-)) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
