Hi Listers,

With the onset of the cold weather, my Spitfire's top has been up, and I've
noticed a lot of new noises.

Most prominent among them is a creaking noise seemingly coming from the
front suspension somewhere.

Before I pull apart all the nuts 'n' bolts for relubrication, can anyone
give me an idea of what to attack first?   The front end was rebuilt last
winter with new ball joints and bushings (stock rubber type). Retorquing
the bolts has had no effect.

Thanks,
