Breaks Creaking?

Hey all,

I have this creak in the front end when I break through corners, or even when i ride the break and turn my wheel from left to right (you know like the supercars do when they are warming up their tyres) it appears to be coming from the front right hand side of the car. Note that it doesn do it when I break in a straight line, or roll through corners (ie with no breaks)

I checked ball joint and they are fine and lubed up (thought it was a dry ball joint), i tightened the cross member and every other nut/bolt i could see for that matter) and bushes are ok, so this has me stumped.

Calipers *seem* to be tight, but i dont wan to force them as the bolts break easy i hear.

car is a nc fairlane

Thanks

Brendan

TRY TIGHTENING THE CROSSMEMBER BOLTS - need to use a very large ring spanner & pref a hoist to get the leverage. Mine creaked when I upgraded to dba slotted & ultimates. This fixed it.
