Why does my frame/suspension creak?
My car was wrecked and the ins co decided to repair it. So far so bad. The details are in here...

My issue is that something is creaking now when I hit the brakes or make a left turn at low speeds. It probably happens at high speeds too but road noise obscures it.
The whole left front suspension was replaced due to the accident, but the frame rail was not visibly damaged.
Could it be my frame or maybe it is the new suspension? There is a link to the pics on the other thread.
I put about 200 miles on the car before the creaking started.

Not sure if it's something else due to the accident, but I had the same creak on the front right side when I would brake hard or fast and make a right like turning into a driveway.
I had it fixed today when I brought the car in for service. Did it at Performance Nissan in Duarte, it was great.
Turns out the problem was a loose bolt in the front right upper control arm. They just need to torque it to the right spec.
