Creeky stearing was created by Tommo
It has only just started, the steering is Creeky when I turn
Sharply, I've sprayed oil on all the joints on the
Steering shaft, Basicly every thing I can see of it
Under the bonnet, but it still does it, any ideas?
Any one else has this problem

Kingpin bearings shot or very dry from not being greased is my initial thought.

It could be a tie rod end though.

It's tricky to tell without being able to look at it.

Most likely kingpin bearings as Kirkynut says. Mine did it really loudly when parking until I changed them.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

It now seems to be quite noticeable,
The noise coming from the front off side wheel.
But that kingpin was only changed just under a year ago?
That is the newer one of the pair

Sorry mate but I'm not on BookFace.

I'm still putting my money on a kingpin bearing but could be a wheel bearing or tie rod end.

Have you had it up on axle stands and investigated yet - if not, you'd be better doing so or we're just throwing wild guesses at you!

Sorry I'm not much help but I can't see we'll diagnose it online without you having a proper look see.

It could even be a knackered suspension bush with the bolt grinding in the crush tube, heck there's too many possibilities!
