ok, strange noises are one of those things that come up from time to time, so it's my turn now it seems.
I'm noticing a creak from the front of the car (I think ?) when I go over speed bumps. If it's a small bump it doesn't matter if I go over it with just the left wheel or just the right wheel, I still get a small creak.
Haven't noticed this noise any other time. I've tried "bouncing" the front of the car on each side a bit but don't hear anything then.
Any ideas on narrowing this down ?

Just to complete this old thread, as it were - the noise seems to have disappeared with the fitment of new anti-roll bars, bushes, brackets and drop links today.
I suspect that either the bushes or the drop links were the cause of the noise.
