    Default Creaking(frog like)/knocking front suspenion

    Hi

    I keep getting a creaking/crocking noise when i turn the steering wheel at slow speeds...im 100% sure its on the drivers side...i have read this can be top mounts or bushes? how can i tell?

    Also i uprated my drop links to the beefier saab replacements but im still getting a knocking noise from the left..i stuck my and on the drop link today and it had a little grease on the rubber...could this be faulty?

    The car is fitted with
    bilstein B8 shocks
    PI 45mm springs

    Thanks

    I'd have the wishbones checked too. I had that noise on the front of my old Vec and it was one of the wishbones had the weight of the car resting on it. Very dangerous, not saying it's the case here but have it checked.
