N/S/F creaking noise when turning (video inside)

[iLott]

So I have a creaking/squeaking noise coming from the front passenger side of my car, it happens when turning whilst stationary or when pulling away.

I've been reading up on the washer fix for the top mount knocking and that it could possibly fix the creaking too but I'm not totally convinced so I wanted some more opinions on it, as it is rather loud and annoying!

Iv had it a few times it only seems to happen when it's cold and it was the rack bushes. Get it on a ramp and take a look at the steering rack bushes whilst someone rocks the steering like you are in the video.

Hello mate, still not convinced, it sounds like its coming from the suspension strut, and is sometimes louder than that. I'll definitely check the steering rack bushes out though! Thanks for the input.

Let us know how you get on. Make sure the car is laden and under weight when testing it.

Hey mate, do you think lubing up the bush with wd-40 would temporarily stop the creaking so I could determine whether it was them? my plan is to squirt wd-40 on all rubber/moving parts around that area, but individually so hopefully I can determine where it's coming from.

Id spray some white grease instead of wd40. Go mental on all the bushes one by one.

See how it goes.

Okay POA has been mapped out!
