Front end creaking 940-960 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be Alan Carlo on  Wed Jul 8 13:42 CST 1998 [RELATED]

ICQ>

The front suspension of my 1993 945 with 78K is intermittantly making a creaking noise. I managed to isolate it to the outer tie rod ends. If I hold the tie rod end while bouncing the car I can feel the vibration. When I try to rotate the steering rod it is extremely difficult to rotate. All suspension components are original. I tried this rotation on my 1992 944 with 38K and it moves fairly easily. Is this symtematic of a failing outer tie rod end? Should the movement be fairly easy? There is no noticable play in the rack or tie rod ends.

Thanks for any input.

Alan C.
