Hi,

My 03 P5 started making some noise today..

Whenever I turn right and there's a hole or a little bump, I hear a distinct creaking noise coming from the front right side. It also does it sometimes when I drive straight but only when I go over a little bump/hit a tiny hole etc.
If I go really really slow it creaks slower, etc.

What can be the reason for this, how can I test it to know what it is, and what possible repair costs would I be looking at? I don't know anything about mechanics so I wouldn't be able to do the work myself..

I'm worried :( my baby's never had a problem.

Thank you
 
Thanks, you were right.

They weren't cracked though, just needed some lube. Salt and sand and other winter junk got in there and they started creaking.

Problem solved :)

possibly a dumb question, but how often should the bushings be lubricated?
