    I have this weird creaking noise when turning the wheel on my saxo also can sometimes be heard when going over bumps, anyway it sounds asif its coming from the passenger side front wheel, Ive also noticed that tyre is slightly more worn than the other side. I jacked up the car and grabbed hold of the passenger wheel and turned it side to side and can hear the creaking noise but im not exactly sure what its coming from.. probably worth mentioning that the car feels like the tracking it slightly out in the way it drives, could this be the track rod or does it sound like I have more than one problem? cheers

    Judging by the symptoms it sounds to me like the track rod end ball joint is worn,

    Could someone please tell me how to check both of these as I have these symptoms and don't want to purchase both if I can help it.
