On the way home from work tonight there suddenly appeared a loud creaking noise coming from the front drivers side, specialy when the car was going slower. When i got the car onto the drive and pushed down on the front wing there was a creaking noise...any advice could this be a spring cracked, they are only a year old after having the suspension lowered, or could it be a shock thats gone?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I had exactly the same thing and it turned out to be the coffin arm bush; particularly noticeable over bumps at slow speed (0-30) as i remember.Pop it in to your local indie or OPC and they will diagnose it it a jot.
+1 for bushes.
Thanks for the info, would that be the wishbone or anti rollbar?
Wishbone althoug the anti roll bar drop links can also make a noise but I believe its more of a rattle than a creak...and probably not when staionary,but someone else probably knows better than I.
Hi All the posts over the last few years here point to creaks as coffin arms and rattles as all other parts! Thank yourself lucky you have a creak! M :bye:
Thanks for all the info guys, turns out to be the coffin arm about £120 so not to bad, think i will get them both done whilst it's there..phewwww
