Hi guys. I really need some help here if possible. The front passenger side suspension on my A5 2012 Quattro ( sounds like its coming from near the wheel) is creaking like mad when going over bumps and braking.

It also seems to happen when the wheel is on a full right lock and going over a bump even without the brakes being applied.

The weirdest thing is on a smooth piece of road or even minor bumps if I dont tap the brakes it doesn’t usually make the noise. So on motorways there’s no creaking at all.

I have been to 4 mechanics now who have all inspected the car and can?t find anything wrong. So I’ve taken a video and thought I would ask the forums for assistance

In the video I’m driving around a residential area at 30mph then braking over bumps to make the noise. If I didn’t tap the brakes it’s likely the noise wouldn’t be as loud.

Please help if you know what this could be
