Perhaps not specific to a gta but my gta has a slight but very annoying creak as you brake gently. 'Don't break gently then!' you may say. However, under spirited driving, its noticeable as Im on and off the brakes quick but trundling along in slow traffic, easing off the brakes, almost at the point where I'm not applying any pressure anymore, I get this creaking that comes up through my foot. You can hear it. Yep, only a small thing but its the really small things that can drive you mad! Anyone esle go this?
Next time sitting in the car, depress the brake pedal then come up off it slowly. If you have my problem, you'll feel the creaking through your foot.
I had a good luck underneath where the pedal linkages etc are and all seems to be okay. Bit of greasing here and there but no joy. I think the problem is coming from further in, behind the dust boot. I wonder if a bush or something is on the way out?
