Elvis has got a creak located by the near-side wheel when I get in or out of the cab.. There's no obvious damage to anything (he was put up on the ramp in my local garage and gease was applied to anything close in the hope that it may sort it). He bowls along quite happily and NO, it is not my knees creaking! I was advised it mught just be old age! Anyone had something similar? Any advice would be gratefully received. Cheers, Jax,  |

Hi Jax,
It could be the front anti roll bar rubber bushes.
Mine creaked when I went over a bump in the road.
It took me some time to find the problem, in case it was the rubber bushes creaking I sprayed them with WD 40 and it stopped it, for a while, WD is good but it does tend to dry out.
So I sprayed them with some old brake fluid I had around, and no more problem, that was two years ago.
Try it and see, but do not use oil it will rot the rubber, any way brake fluid will penetrate better.
The bushes are located on the upper rear of the front sub frame, use plenty of brake fluid to make sure it gets right in, I used an old spray bottle to put it in (kitchen cleaner etc)
