I have developed a creak in my 98 C2 coupe 88,0000 miles - or I should say that during the course of a longish drive say 100 miles plus I develop a creak that can be heard under braking or when the car is just maneuvering slowly, say in queue or some such.
Can't decide at the moment whether its from the front or the back, (although I'm suspecting front), and the contenders are shock absorber (s), wheel bearing or engine mount as well (although I think the latter is the least likely).
I think there is a bit of vibration as well, a little like scuttle shake (not usually applicable to coupes) and just about noticeable on crappy (concrete) road surfaces at speed.
Any similar experiences?
If indeed the view is a shock, what's the view on replacing just one?
Or should it only be in pairs and are there any recommendations to the standard shocks (which to be fair seem pretty good)?
In anticipation as always.
