We have a C70 T5 Conv as the daily drive. Its a great car, especially in summer but one thing that drives me mad is the creeking in groning from the front suspension on anything like full lock.

Temporary fixes include spraying 'liquid grease' at the main suspension bits aroubnd the wheels (you can tell I'm, not that technical). Is this a usual problem? Any ideas on the best fix?

Hope someone can advise as it is spoiling the enjoyment of the car.

Hi what you need to do is buy a tin of copper grease and a brush and just put a small amount on each of the steering stops which are on each front wishbone arms,it is a service item to grease these rubber stops but will go dry after lots of rain etc a very bad design on volvos part.
