My son's Corsa e has had new inner and outer tie rods, new drop links as well in the last year. In the past month at low speeds it has made this creaking noise especially when turning, you can just feel it on the top mount and the outer tie rod on the driver's side but I'm at a loss to know what's causing it. You can only just feel it and I'm assuming it's not the new parts. Anyone have any advice?
 
The car has to be moving to hear the noise and it's louder in the car than outside
 
Try this....jack the car up, feel the spring when someone turns the steering wheel for you. This shows up any strut top bearing problems big time!

Can I assume that advice goes for any make of car with strut top bearings or specifically related to the OP's model ?
