H all,
Im fitting New Drop Links to the Anti roll bar on my grande punto 56,Do i need to torque them and if so does anyone know too what setting?
Or do i just tighten them up?
 
there is probably a prescribed torque setting for them but I persoanly would just do them tight as poss
 
Changed Drop Links this am to try and sort out creaking noise from steering wheel, also top strut mount advised by fiat but steering wheel still creaking. Starting to run out of ideas.Any Advice PLEASE.
 
Thankyou for your reply. We have turned the wheel and checked the springs all seem to be okay.Had it out for a test run still creaking when moving steering wheel.I'm baffled to what's causing the noise, Sometimes the creak is really loud,i can hear it above the sterio,then on other days it is'nt as loud. Any ideas what else it could be?:bang:
 
Hi,
Yes, definatly from Steering Wheel, you can hear it when moving wheel.Strange thing is though when i had car jacked up, tried steering wheel again and creaking noise had gone. Do you think it may be the rack?:eek:
 
I had this problem and it was the strut top monts, it sounded like a bed spring on a creaky matress? I thought it was the passenger side top mount but it turned out to be the drivers side, good job I was changing them both anyway
 
Thanks for all replys, Car was in at fiat for a recall on the lower steering column December of last year.Fiat said all was okay. However Creaking noise seemed to have started after visit, Gradually getting worse.Don't get me wrong i'm not knocking fiat, maybe they have moved something while checking steering column . Booked car in at fiat as i think its a safety issue, car checked and they come back with , i need new top stut mounts ,which i get fitted local Garage, still creaking. I will now try the hose pipe test{cheers}:)
