Creaky Steering
Hi Guys,
I have just bought the car out of winter storage and noticed a creak coming from the center of the dash when I drive. I have just replaced all the bushes on the car (and it has full new MO30 suspension) so I'm wondering what it could be? Your help would be very much appreciated. I have seen it mentioned on other (lesser) forums that its merely a greasing matter. But what needs greasing, if indeed that is the issue.
You can hear the sound (not very well though) at 10.10 in this movie I made the other day:
Thanks guys.
PS. Happy to be back on the roads.

I would change my power steering liquid. Bit of a PITA but well worth doing. Obviously check for a leak before changing fluid.

Unfortunately the strut has to be removed and the top mount taken off to grease them. A shortcut is to spray some lube in that area to quiet them down.
