Hey Guys,

My MY04 STi has started making a creaking noise when turning after starting up [coming out of parking bays], and then after that a continuous squeaking noise occurs whilst driving normally [straight line cruising]. From what I've read on here I think the startup creaking noise is my wheel bearings and(or) bushings being worn and needing replacement, and the squeaking noise is because of a power steering belt or 'o' ring that needs to be replaced/rebuilt.

I've got the car booked into the Subaru Wangara shop for its 125000km service next week, I'm guessing there going to pick up on it and quote me to fix. Now the actual service itself they were cheap with and beat prices of other garages i had quoted so I'm hoping they're not going to try and screw me too bad, but in preparation has anybody else had this problem and whats the maximum i should be paying them to fix these issues?

P.S is it safe for me to drive my car in the meantime?
