Creaking is probable a better word to describe the noise. The noise will happen even when sitting still and i just crank the wheel all the way to the left.

Thanks for the replies, is will try the suggestions and post back.

My 2002 C70 makes loud groaning and creaking noises when turning the wheels to near the end of the steering limits, like when you are in a parking lot. Does anyone know what I should check or replace first.

Thanks
