Suggestion · Original poster
Hi all just spent a fair bit of money refreshing the front suspension on my 996tt replacing both front lower control arms and track control arms hoping to eliminate a creaking coming from the front end, positive is the creaking has now gone from outside and steering feel is much better/sharper, but there is still a creaking coming from around the front of the dash im thinking maybe top mounts?

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.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Any ideas.

POST 2Original post

Front top mounts is very common. Quite easy to inspect visually.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ok how do i visually inspect? will give it a try first thing in the morning. cheers for reply.

POST 4Original post

Does sound like top mounts, if car is jacked up you should be able to shine torch up and potential see the rubber of the top mount starting to split away from the steel components of the the mount, if this can be seen this is usually a sign of replacement needed
