Creaky Cornering
Im hoping this is nothing, but just wanted to check...
At slow speeds (such as driving round housing estates etc) negotiating tight 90 degree bends produces a strange creaking sound which appears to be coming from the front wheel type area. It doesn't happen when dry steering ( i try not to do it too often!), and it doesn;t happen at speed (i pressume because I dont turn that hard at high speed).
Im not sure if this is because the car is stripped out, and therefore i can hear things that I usually would be able to hear, but im worried that it could be a major problem in the making. Do you guys think it's worth getting checked out or is it just one of those famous 'quirks'?
Any ideas or thoughts as to places I could check would be much appriciated!

Mine does this, annoying it is...
On mine it's the roll bar bushes, the ones to the car body, not the drop links, thing is they were replaced shortly before I got the car, so they're not knackered or owt but it does shut up for a while if I spray em with wd40
Been thinking about taking em off and greasing the bar where it goes through em, might be better than my current solution
