Hi
on my 2006 ford focus hatchback
while I steer to full lock, at low speeds, I hear a creaking sound from the left front wheel area. This is only while actually moving the steering wheel - while driving slowly at full lock no further noise appears.

I've been told it might be could be the drop link suspension - my initial thought was that it would be the CV joint - gonna get it checked out but if it is the drop link, any idea how much its gonna cost to get fixed?

cheers
