Hi guys, got a few noises going on with the O/s front at the moment and have had a bit of a poke around to find out what it is.

Firstly I suspected CV joint as when turning right I hear a clicking noise from that side. So I had a look at that today, the outer ones look fine but the inner ones looking suspiciously greasy. Especially the O/s one which is making the noise. Got some photos too. The N/s outer looked fine, didn't get a photo.

Also got a bit of a rattle / knock that I occasionally feel in the steering so suspected possible ball joint. Had a look around and this is all I could find on the O/s from a couple of angles, the N/s was perfectly intact.

Lastly, noticed this when turning the wheel. O/s makes a creaking noise when turning the wheel by hand, N/s does not. I put my finger on the top mount as I did this and it definitely felt like it was coming from there. Got a video of this one

Any ideas?

Thanks
