how serious does it sound? coilovers generally are quite creaky.

The other side is silent. could it be the spring creacking?? it happens when i turn left and take it up to full lock and just off full lock also.

Yeh I would put it down to the spring turning, they do this all the time. i cant be sure though as I haven't heard the sound myself. I would check everything over to be safe, but it's more than likely to be that.

Get the droplink back on, then re-assess it. Mine have always made mild noises, I've learnt to ignore them as it's never bothered me.
