I noticed it about 3.5 weeks ago. Right before we went on vacation.
It was only doing it occasionally then but it is creaking every time the front of the car moves up or down.
I went searching for the noise and as best as I can figure the problem is the spring insulators on the bottoms of the front springs have disintegrated.
Where can I get these parts, The online fiches only show the spring the strut and the top mount, not that lower plastic insulator.
It really pissed me off because I was so careful when I removed them from the old struts and installed them on the new ones back in june (IIRC).
