Wheel Creak
 

Hi all, ive done a quick search but it came up with nothing, so i have a question for you all, ive noticed over the last couple of days a "creaking noise" coming from my my01 front left tyre area, it not a constant creak its like creak creak creak when the cars rolling louder if turning right and can only really be noticed at low speeds, i pulled the wheel off yesterday and made sure the strut and caliper were tight and the wheel was tight and tht the breakpads had heaps of meat left, does anyone have any ideas?

cheers in advance

how much pad left?

Sounds like a pad wear indicator doing it's job.

looked like there was plenty of meat left from what i could see

4mm or less would be the pad wear indicator touching the disk

yeah definatly had more then 4mm left, my cousin sagested to me the his friend had a similar noise on his silvia and it turned out that it was a spring?? have you ever heard of this

Does it also make sound when going over slight bumps?
May pay to check the sway bar mounts as they might need lubricating.. if there isnt sufficient grease it can make real loud creaking sounds.

did you check the cv boots on driveshafts???

could be

sway bar mounts (grease them up)

springs not being captive anymore (i had this issue)

springs not being captive anymore (i had this issue)

wat do u mean by this??

springs aren't taking up the space in the shock (so u can move it), and the spring moves around as you drive/hit bumps.
