    Creaky suspension

    After towing the caravan for the first time the front suspension has developed a creaking on both sides. I get it whilst turning and if you perform the classic shocker bounce test. Is this top mounts or spring mounts?? any help please and best items to replace with.

    Also are standard t5 Nivomats the same as the R nivomats?

    Cheers

    I think you are best off asking the opinion of your garage tbh.

    Mine makes a horrible noise when manouvering from stationary on grippy surfaces. After replacing all the suspension and the power steering pump, garage thinks it's the power steering pipes creaking!

    sounds like bottom arm ball joints which are compleate with the bottom arms.pull the dust cover back a bit and see if you see rusty stains or any movement..also check the anti roll drop links.
