lately when i'm turning corners or performing maneuvers at slow speeds my car is very loud and creaky.. i don't know about cars but i know it's not a good thing!
the only thing i can think of is that i've had the spare wheel on for a few days now which i know is a bad move but i haven't got the cash at the moment..
any ideas?

MOT is due next week, will it fail for it?
also is it an expensive problem?

I know they will fail if they are falling apart, maybe not if they are just creaking a bit but they need replacing anyway it's a sign that they are worn.
