there is a creeking noise coming from what i believe is my suspention, its iratating and makes my car sound like crap. the noise happens at low speed when i go over a speed bump, uneven road, incline or any other situation that the shocks compress. im running stock suspension except for tanabe DF210 springs. i got an alignment 2 weeks after i got my springs installed back in late march.. here are my alignment specs if it helps

 

have you checked if your shocks are leaking oil?

 

sorry but its suspension. not trying to be a dick, just letting you know.

 

Is this sound coming from the front or the back? also how much did the springs lower the car? and have you checked your rear sway bar? sometimes dropping a car will make the end links rub against the chassis but you said you got an alignment they should have noticed something like that. are you rubbing at all with your Matte Bronze Rota Grids 18x 9.5 + 20?

 

the noise seems to be coming from the front. the drop is 1.1" in front and 1.4" in rear

 

lol w.e my bad. who cares!

 

if i just look at the shocks would i be able to see oil or do i have to do somthing else to find out if they are leaking oil

 

also check the front sway bar. does it make the noise when you push down on the front of it with your hands?

 

yes it does

 

bump =/

 

I would jack your front end up and make sure your springs are perched right and if there is any sign of oil around the wheel well, also make sure there is not any debris like acorns rocks stuck in the springs. Hey you did not mention but did this happen before or after the alignment?

 

i started noticing this a couple weeks ago, ill deff check it out ASAP

 

how many miles on your car?

 

13k

 

well at 13k, chance of blown shocks are slim unless you've tracked it (then anything is possible). best way to check for blown seal in shocks is move the dust cover and check for oil
