Hi guys , got a bit of a problem I need some advice...
Range ro p38 dse
Failed the mot start of the month on front ball joints and front shocks, so had new shocks and all 4 ball joints done and a few other bits and exhaust sorting and steering alined properly, and its driving feeling better than ever, work carried out by a great guy who does land rovers not at the mot place
2 weeks later ( this week) its developed a funny squeaking creaking sound, it comes and goes, its hard to describe but it can be fairly high pitched squeaking and creaking a bit like a fat person moving on a creaky bed !! It doesn't happen at speed , mostly when turning slowly and at angles, sometimes it comes and goes with the release of the clutch/drive in lower gears, or when doing 3 point turns etc, but it doesn't do it all the time
So I took it back to the bloke who did the work and took for a drive to show him and typically it didn't really do it much only a little bit , as we drove and turned in to his yard at an angle going down to the right
It sort of does it at a low speed and squeaks and creaks and has that "bouncey" sort of moving on a dodgy bed sound, the creaking sort of bounces
But rocking the car or any suspension issue its not , and he got it on the ramp tested the wheels and work done and its nothing there had a good feel around
And the front prop shaft ujs have a bit of play , he said they needs doing so its booked in for weds to get don and said that's the only thing he can see
What im wondering .... Is that creaking squeaking noise something that happens when the ujs need doing ??
The noise was not there before the mot fail and work done and just came about a couple of weeks after
Appriciate any advice on that , or anything else to check ?
Thanks guys
