Having recently replaced my air springs at the front I have noticed since reassembly that I get a creak from the suspension when cornering right. Only right. Roundabouts show it up worse.

I've been through all the suspension with a fine tooth comb, all of it is brand new Delphi stuff so its all good.

I think I have identified the cause and it seems to be the top mounting where the air spring mounts to the suspension turret. I changed the gaskets there when I replaced the air springs.

I've got to strip it all out now and see why it's creaking. Will report back when I work out why it's doing it. Christian.

Soak it in WD40 or similar, if it stops creaking then you know it's the top mount...  Pete

Found it, almost drove me insane trying to pin it down as it only happened when cornering right.

I was almost convinced it was the air spring swivel joint, to the point where I bought another BWI bag to change it over.

Turns out it was an under-torqued ARB nut, and upon tightening the noise was gone. I cannot tell you how stressful that was trying to find it, I was literally lying in bed at night thinking about what it could be as all the suspension is new parts.

Happy it's finally sorted. Christian.
