    Creaking front suspension

    Hi all

    My car is going in for front wheel bearings tomorrow.

    I'm also going to ask them to sort out the steering wheel, so that if sits straight.

    I have little knowledge on spring/shock suspesion, as my previous cars were all hydraulic.

    Can I ask the garage to grease up certain parts to stop the creeeeaaking/cracking noises I occasionally get in mulit storey carparks on the front ?

    Also the rear suspesion sometime squeaks when I get in/out when parked on a berb - can this be lubed up ?

    Thanks

    Could be the top mounts, just had mine done and were completely gone at 123K. Centre bushes completely detatched (£24+vat each). Had new shocks fitted as well.(£76+vat each) and one drop link. Quiet as a mouse now.

    Tracking was out by 5.4mm each wheel (toeing out). Had that done and am waiting to see if it changes over the next 2K.

    Only the rear brakes to do now. Job for Sat.
