Squeaks and creaks on my 156 SW

Got a 2001 156 Sportwagon and its developing some odd noises .
The first one is a squeak just as I'm coming to a halt - this seems to happen more often than not - could be brakes?
The second one is a repetitive squeak on the passenger side when I'm going round a right hand bend - it seems to go when I straighten up or when I steer more to the right. This is an intermittent problem but once it starts on a journey its almost always there till I stop the car and set off again.
The third one is more of a creaking noise when I'm setting off, this seems to be from the drivers side and sounds like its from the front/middle of the car. Absolutely no idea what this one could be?

I've had the ARB and wishbones changed last year

Any ideas?

Re: Squeaks and creaks on my 156 SW

The creaks from the front will more than likely be one of the many sets of bushes on the front suspension and steering components. It will be the upper and lower wishbones.
Some of the more qualified will be along soon to tell you in more detail. I got 1 of my upper wishbones done earlier this year and it cost £120 fitted I think Mine is creaking again on that same side, especially from cold. Seems to go once warmed up a bit.

Is your warranty on the car or the part?
