Peageot 107 is only 4 years old & creaks like an old maid.

Ant tips on where to spray the white grease please?

Or would you use something more long lasting.
4 dr Car has only covered 30k.

Many Thanks,
Keith.

It`s probably best to get an assistant to bounce or rock the car so you can pinpoint the problem. Joints usually creak because the grease seals have failed and the ball is moving on a cocktail of rusty mush which has probably worn out the nylon cup of the joint. You may find that a swill out with lubricant will stop the noise for a while but also introduce sloppiness in the joint which in turn could cause shuddering under braking or various other irritations depending on whereabout the offending article is. Personally I`d replace it then you have no worries. Good Luck
Col.

Thanks Colin

Got it up on ramp, & it refused to make any noises!

Soaked joints in Waxoil & creaking stopped.

Question is, how long will it last?

Thanks, Keith.
