I have read quite many topics here and for me, it seems that you're writing about my car. When I notice something strange (i.e problem), I search same thing from this forum and someone has recently posted a story about that.So, to sum up, I have also this creaking sound.

Just looking for this oil, now halfords sell this stuff "Bikehut Dry Teflon Bike Lube 125ml". Is this any good for the job?

Might be okay but probably best to go to your local specialist auto parts store rather than a chain. They will know what you are talking about. There are a few brands out therre, including TF2.

Monkeywba, anything like yhat will do as it does tge job well and doesn't leave a sticky residue that attracts dirt etc.

I got this creaking sound for the first time today. Any of you guys tried the dry lube on the steering linkage and has it worked? Cheers.

For the guys who applied the Teflon lube, how do you get at the joint?
