The original post is here;
www.206info.co.uk/Foru...32085.html
I have some pictures and updates:
The creaking noise at the back has been sorted, exhaust rubber had rotated and it was a rattle not a squeek.
At the front one of the noises was droplinks, see pics
It clearly creaks and pops when the steering is turned. It looks in bad shape too.
I checked the other bushes and they looked fine. Someone suggested the ARB bushes but they look ok. A little worn maybe, see pics
The noise from the front is made by the dodgy drop links + one other noise. When i turn the steering there is a popping rubbery noise that come from inside the damper / possibly the top mount. The mount doesnt rotate (see red arrown in pic) but looks like it is about to rotate then 'pops' back. ANY THOUGHTS?
Thanks for all the help guys.

Thanks CD-530d
I thought the top mount looked fine too. Wonder if there is something inside the damper that is popping / creaking. There can't be any moving parts in there. Could the bolt ontop of the damper in the center of the topmount need tightening? This is the one that has been removed recently (6 months ago for the work at the front)
