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 !
