I have a similar sounding issue that has been a real pain to track down - back into OPC next week for third attempt after replacement of lower control arm didn't solve the issue(this commonly gives problems - may be something for you to check).
Leading evidence: 'Check )' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

Also, have you tried putting on full lock and grabbing hold of the tie rod and giving it a good waggle (I'd recommend being stationary for this one :wink: ).

By the way, I have the Porsche workshop manual (the one OPC uses) and the arm is the lower control arm, it's got a bearing and bush in it.

Have also used Euro CP (once) with no probs, what's the story?!?
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Got a terrible creaking noise from the front drivers side, most noticable at slow speeds and when the steering wheel is wiggled when stationery. Creaking comes from drivers side. Also can be heard when I push down on the wing to compress the suspension.
Anoying thing is i can't tell where it's coming from cause when the car is jacked up the creaking is gone.
any ideas?

If it creaks / squeeks when the suspension is compressed, it could be bushes. It was on mine. Didn't notice it when the car was stationary tho.

Hi John,
is it a creak or more of a rattle? And is it from cold or only when warmed up? I have a similar sounding issue that has been a real pain to track down - back into OPC next week for third attempt after replacement of lower control arm didn't solve the issue(this commonly gives problems - may be something for you to check).
Also, have you tried putting on full lock and grabbing hold of the tie rod and giving it a good waggle (I'd recommend being stationary for this one :wink: ). There's seems to be some movement in mine so had it replaced but noise is still there so wondering if it's coming from the steering rack end.
Please let me know if you have any luck tracking your issue down and I'll report back any findings next week!
Chris

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the pointers. The creak is definately a CREAK - sounds like a rusty old hinge!
Its there no matter cold or warm.
I've had a look again tonight and i can feel the creak through the lowest and biggest arm. There are 2 arms at the bottom which meet each other in a triangle shape, i think it's the one with the bottom ball joint.
I've held every arm in sight including the anti-roll bar and track rod end and when the wheel is wiggled I can only feel it in the bottom arm so i guess it's that. Should be an easy fix so i'll get one from Euro Car Parts and fit it at the weekend. Will let you know how i get on.
Cheers Paul

Hi John,
lower control arm didn't work for me BUT mine is most definitely a rattle that appears only when the suspension is warmed up so unlikely we have the same issue.
Have also used Euro CP (once) with no probs, what's the story?!?
