I noticed it on mine when driving round London (Loads of starting and stopping) Only ever did the noise pulling away and when the car was above 20MPH it was fine and runs like a dream with no noise. I only started noticing it when I got 2 new tyres and tracking fitted on the front. Seems like when the car wheels were removed it kicked in the creakyness hehe.
Also another thing I noticed with mine was if the creaky sound was really bad pulling away it would light up the Oil light for a second and then it would go off again. I was really worried cause thought to myself that either I had engine oil leak or something bad with the power steering fluid or something. Pleased to say all was checked and all fine so must be something vibrating causing a loose connection when the steering creaks.
Well anyhow let me get to the point.... tried the 3 slits in the right and left side rubber covers and sprayed loads and loads of WD40 in it. I have used half a massive can in desperation that it will now solve the issue. Pleased to say it has instantly solved my problem and tomorrow I am going London again so going to be a really good test. Will let you guys know how tomorrow goes but success so far!
Have to say thank you to the previous posters as a £3 bottle of WD40 has saved me time and money getting a garage to look at this issue.
