Creaking noise from Steering!?

[Ash_EP3]

Any ideas chaps?

I'm gonna get my mate to thoroughly go through the car at some point as there is already a knocking noise from the front left and now it's bloody creaking at me!?

Thanks in advance!

Steering rack slider mate. You might be able to get away with just re-greasing it, if not it's an expensive fix.

Ok cheers mate - worst case scenario I'll need a new steering rack?

Yes mate, I think it's in the region of £1200 fitted at a stealer, though I could be wrong.

Yep, this is what will be creaking, tightening them will sort it.

I got quoted £1400 when my steering rack was done a couple of years ago, luckily still had 2 weeks left on the warranty and got it done for nothing.
