What about CV-joints? Mine were creaking loudly when turning. Replaced them with SKF ones.

Have you tried greasing the steering stops? They can produce horrendous creaking sounds when you turn if they are dry.

Do you mean the rubber stops on the wishbones? I now the sound comes before these rub against the wheel arch liner.So i can rule those out .

the nylon fixed type are particularly noisy if they are dry.

Thanks for that.Did you do the job yourself? Is it normally the outer which is the problem?Did you just regrease the inner joint? How easy is it to remove the outer joint?
