Creaking noise was created by Tidyonafriday

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the forum but have been reading posts for a while getting some inspiration.

I have a 2007 jimny that I have plan to lift and add some decent tyres but at the moment creaks in reverse on full lock.
This noise disappears on going forward.

Any help would be appreciated.

Does it do it on both left and right full lock also it could be where your holding the wheel hard on itsstop and making the belt squeek and thats bad for the steering pump and box

I've also got a very annoying creak in my O2 that only happens when I change gear. Following detailed investigations I discovered it was my left knee.

The noise comes from the front drivers side.

It's starts as you begin turning into full lock and I never hold the lock on hard to make the belt sqeek.

The noise is metallic. A mechanic friend of mine said it might be the steering stop bushes that have worn!

I have had a look but not exactly sure what I'm looking for.

As for creaking knees mine do that as well :woohoo:

I get a funny nois fron my passenger seat when i start to go down a steep hill, funnily enough only when i have a passenger.

But the steering stop would be a good start put a big blob of greace on each stop and try it.

That's a good idea, I will try the grease!

Don't take passengers it's a lot more quieter in so many ways :laugh:
