268 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Hi In the last week my cars developed a creaking sound when it gets close to full lock; both left and right.The creaking noise only happens when the car is moving. Called the mechanic today and he said its the outer cv joint(without looking at it), the noise is coming from the passenger side. I've done a little research and it says that to confirm this you put the car in reverse on full lock and the noise should continue or get worse. The noise seems to stop completely in reverse throwing me into doubt? Any thoughts before I throw money at a new cv joint? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
268 Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Update: I've now found if I pull the car quickly into full lock the cars engine nearly cuts out on idle. And the revs have to shoot up to keep it running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
268 Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Just got my mate to jump up and down with me underneath it, it's the wishbones. Ball joint gaiters deteriorated, can feel the vibrations in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
