steering/suspension creaking issue.... Fixed!!

[RobC]

have you still got the pic mate? what exactly did you fit, my golf seems to have the same symptons now just trying to find out what it could be

[Adam]

Have you just fitted coilovers/springs?

[RobC]

nope, its lowered on springs but that not a recent thing, was the hub/bearing problem coilover related then?

[Adam]

Mine creaked like BBs but it ws because I had not fitted the bearing the correct way.

wasnt related on mine!...I changed wheel bearings not long before the creak and everything was tight still, but when I removed the hub you could see the bearing had burned the seal. it passed an mot with the issue as everything was fine (at a main dealer too! but there was no odd movemenet on the bearing anywhere!). if you have similar issues I would remove the hub and check the bearing
