Yes i have searched but still have acouple ?'s.. Well it has a slight creaking that developed when i started driving it this winter(2wks ago). Front end is tight, had alighnment 5k ago and everything is good..The only thing wrong is the torn boot on the uca which is the same side making the noise. I lubed her up and theres still creaking..

It's the same noise my marquis made (marquis's was much louder) when it had a bad lower bj. Mine has a 10k~mile lower drivers side bj on it. Also new srb's on both sides..

I start my job monday so it'll have to wait abit..And please dont waste ur time telling me my wheels gunna fall off.

kthxbye.



EDIT:
I'd also like to add when i stopped driving it last summer it made 0 noises...There are no popping or clunks when i go over bumps ect. Just creaking like something dried up or the lube not flowing right since its cold out.

Tires are wearing evenly.

get the suspension braces for your car.
 
"I lubed her up and theres still a little creaking.." Are you telling us that lubing it up reduced the creaking but did not eliminate it? If it reduced it, I think it's obvious that's the issue.

sry, it stayed the same.
 
Just drove it and it only creaks on up and down susp movement
 
Same problem. Sometimes it does it and other times not.
New front end top to bottom, less than 3 k miles on it.
 
Lube every rubber bushing you can find while up on a lift, front first then work the suspension if still there do it again on the rear. You should be able to isolate it.
 
I have a creak as well cheap upper control arm was installed and the bushings are worn out and starting to move a bit when I grab top of tire thought it was bj at first but the whole arm has a bit of play
 
Just an update...

Upon further examination i determained my problem went away after i drove the car for roughly 5 min..And is completly gone when its warmish out(40+) which leads me to believe its a bushing thats just cold..Still no play in the wheels..Used a bar to try and get movement out of the wheel too and still nothing.
