Standard 997 has developed a creaking noise from Drivers front side. Sounds like a spring creaking. Afraid a bit of mechanical idiot so any ideas/solutions please.

Thanks in advance.
 
Hello

We have done alot of 997 cars for creaking and found that in most cases the top of the spring is touching the bearing cup as it has rubbed through the rubber supprt cup.

Thank for the reply. Is this an OPC job, indie or other garage? And i it unsafe to drive?

Feedback

Passed by OPC yesterday and asked them to have a look at my front creaking, firstly they not heard of this issue mentioned in previous thread,

they inspected my car and concluded its the inner wing lining slighlty moving and no cause for concern, they suggetsed that next service call they can sort it,.

hope that helps
 
Took the car to a mechanic last week. Good friend so although not indie or opc knew he would look after the car. He lubricated parts of the shock absorber which he said looked dried out. Apologies for not knowing exactly which parts but the noise has now gone.
