Now that the temp has dropped here in the NE, I've noticed that my RA's front end makes "creaking" noises when going over bumps, mostly speedbumps.

It is a crunching, creaking noise. Anyone else experience this, resolution? I just don't want to show up at the dealer with a description, I'd like some ammo to back it up.

 

mine does it also, but i so do all my friends that have some sort of lowered vehicle, i believe it just comes with the territory of hard pressed suspensions. only worry if there is leakage coming from the housing.

 

My rear suspension creaked back when it was still stock, turned out to be the lower control arm bushings. The dealer replaced my rear lower control arms, and the car was quiet for almost a year, then the creaking came back. I haven't done anything about it yet. I'm considering trying to drill/tap holes for grease zerks, so I can shoot a little grease in the bushings a couple times a year.

 

A fair few of us (me included) have had this problem, its just the bushings needing lubricating, fixes it just like that
