when i go over imperfections in the road, speed bumps, etc... my front end creaks.. its ANNOYING!

would that be a shock problem?

ive got a 99 with 63k on it.

It may be the hood. I'm not sure if the Town Car had this problem, but the Marauder, CV, and Grnd Marq did. I know mine did...

On your drivers side, grease the sides of the hood with some kind of paint-safe lubricant like vasoline or maybe wax. Also grease the adjacent area.

I've highlihgted the areas to grease up. I had the same problem you described: a creaky and annoying noise anytime the car went up or down, over bumps, or even if you pressed down on the hood a couple times. In the pics, I highlighted the areas so you get the idea of what to do...

youre a genius. i didnt lube the areas you said, but i did put a a few little sprays of silicone on the rubber parts that immediatly touch the inerside of the hood, raised the hood levelers and it stopped...
