Now guys 2 problems for you, when driving along abit of a rough road, from the passenger side front, im getting like a croaking noise, and from the drivers side it sounds like theres a mouse or something somwehere, a sqweek when the front ends bounces up and down (not proper bouncing just as its reading the road

)

I had a very unusual creak, it kinda happened when the engine flexed and the exhaust moved. For instance, touching the accelerator or going over a bump.

Turned out to be the joint where the centre section meets the downpipe (on my mk2).

It called an exhaust flange and needed wire brushing, copper greasing and re joining, You could also replace the gasket which would be even better.

It might not be your case, but when anything creaks i tend to think of that.

Ive got a mystery squeak going on at the moment when driving a long/going over speed bumps/braking + pulling away

I changed my lower suspension arms last year, and I thought the nuts in the footwells just needed tightening, which I did, but its still doing it.

Im thinking it could be the ARB bushes or something else, anyone with any ideas would be great
