Creaking Noise From Front

[alan hollas]

Hope someone may be able to help. I have an IS300 and as i am slowly turning and braking there is a loud creaking noise from the front end,had all bushes checked and cannot find anything.It sounds like either a suspension problem or brakes. Wondering if anyone else has had same problem

My IS200 does the exact same thing. Havnt had it on a lift yet though, but i think it is the brake caliber pins, not 100% sure though.

cheers for reply, i have had a mechanic look at all ball joints and he can't find any probs, he has greased them all, thinking they may be dry, but no joy. I will have to get him to look at caliper pins and see if there is anything there. Just sounds horrible and as though it's something ready to give. Any more info would be greatly appreciated.

hi had the same problem my was where the pads sit in the calliper i just cleaned it up and put some copper slip on where the pads sit seem to do the job

I had my disc and pad changed yesterday but today the sound back again... anyone had their problem solve?? where could it be coming from?

I had the same job , had mot yesterday and my caliper pins were stuck and pads were stuck. Had them done and the car is now fine, try that red rubber grease on the pins mate
