what causes creaking noise

[FastEddy]

when i turn to my right I have a creaking noise coming from behind the bottom of my front right wheel hub. Is this a sign of bad outer Tie rod or Ball joint? Need help thanx

Most likely strut bearing. Pretty common problem.

Thanks for reply, but creaking noise is not coming from the top of the strutt where the strutt bearing is, ( put new bearings in 6mths ago) it is the very bottom of strutt, behind lower area of wheel.

What brand strut bearings did you use?

 

[FastEddy]

No idea, came with new strutts

Then this is the likely cause, even more so if it was a cheap bearing. I had a buggard bearing I thought it was something inside the cabin. Strut bearing noise travels on the VE which threw me until we pull the struts to fit new ones. If you have hit a few pot holes this tends to wear them out pretty quick. I had a set of bearings last around six months or so on the old ute from rough roads.

I have a creaking noise but I think it’s my hip.

Strut top bearing, inner tie rod and outer tie rod are likely culprits.
