  1. I take it the ESP didnt kick in (or you had it switched off).

     

    From the 12 months I have had my car I find the back end quiet unpredictable. The ESP kicks in too soon when the roads are dry and very often too late (or never!) when the roads are wet (especially when leaving roundabouts).

     

    Still wouldn't change the Z for anything else!

    Off the lights if i am in a hurry i will turn the ESP off BUT never when driving a little quick on twisty bends especially in the wet, never. :D

  2. I've had this problem for a while now. £25+vat is not that bad a price if they need replacing

     

    I am no machanic but they are very easy to change and i will do my own. I replaced some drop links on my Vectra 3.2 Gsi and they only cost £13 each and they were 3 times longer :wacko:

  3. I managed to take the wheels off and spray some grease inside off the drop links. One of them moved very easily but the other one was very stiff. I will give it a few days and see if the noise stops.

    I did phone the stealers for a price on the links and they come up at £25 +vat each so lets hope the creaks go away.

  4. I have only had this creaking noise since the hot weather started last week approx..

     

    I have looked in other post's reference clicking axles but mind only creaks when going in and out of my drive on nearly full lock(slight hill) not on the straight. Could this be a dodgy spring or shock or could this be the start of the axle haunting me and become worse. It does it going forwards and backwards ???

     

    Anyone with any clues :)
