    is it happening more on cold startup then when you touch and release the accelerator ? If so, Its the exhaust flange, If not it may be a wheel bearing possibly or a drive shaft ?

    when i let off the accelerator it is more of a tinny noise like a creak
    i am planning on getting new shafts soon
    could this have anything to do with thesteering rack or power steering pump

    if your cars lowered the camber angle changes of your wheels which will cause slight uneven wear. could be knackered shocks

    The shafts are brand new and bearings we sprayed some grease on shox and squeak has calmed right down now
    so coilovers are now on order to replace
