creaking noise at front
 
Hi all,

My 75 has developed a real bad creaking sound at the front suspension it sounds like floorboards creaking and it sounds worse when I am cornering at low speeds.

All the front springs and shocks have been replaced and I thought maybe it was the wishbones but from what I can gather when they fail its more of a knocking sound.

so any ideas lads

It's the bearings at the top of the struts.

Fairly easy job if you're happy to compress the springs and remove.

like Andy says, strut-top bearings dry or worn out or probably both !
