I've recently started hearing a creaking noise coming from the front of my '03. I'm not positive, but it seems to be the driver's side. It mostly does it while entering a stop or accelerating from a stop. It also does it at times on slow speed bumps.

 

I got the exact same thing and searched tons of topics and counldn't find out what it is. It gets on my nerves. Drivers side on low speed bumps just like you said.

 

What's your year and milage? I'm at a tick over 60K. The only thing that I can think of is a bad strut.

 

endlinks and sway bar bushing can also cause this.

 

04.5 45,500

 

Being loose or going bad?

 

going bad for wither one. Grease could actually help the sway bar bushings.

 

Compression rod bushing

or

Inner lower control arm bushing

or

swaybar bushing what once was lubed, but really isn't anymore

 

Thanks for the help guys. I think I'm going to pull the sway bar sunday and check out the links and lube up the bushings, since I always prefer to start with the cheap/free solutions. If the links are bad I should be able to feel play or roughness in the ball/socket, right?
