Suspension noises
#1
Hi guys, got a few noises going on with the O/s front at the moment and have had a bit of a poke around to find out what it is.

Firstly I suspected CV joint as when turning right I hear a clicking noise from that side. So I had a look at that today, the outer ones look fine but the inner ones looking suspiciously greasy. Especially the O/s one which is making the noise. Got some photos too. The N/s outer looked fine, didn't get a photo.

3. N/s inner - http://i.imgur.com/g4YTKQ9.jpg?1

Also got a bit of a rattle / knock that I occasionally feel in the steering so suspected possible ball joint. Had a look around and this is all I could find on the O/s from a couple of angles, the N/s was perfectly intact.

Lastly, noticed this when turning the wheel. O/s makes a creaking noise when turning the wheel by hand, N/s does not. I put my finger on the top mount as I did this and it definitely felt like it was coming from there. Got a video of this one

Any ideas?

By the look of it you're pretty on the money, the os driveshaft and the top mount are your problems. Is there any play in the balljoint?
