Creak/groan from shocks?

Does anyone else get a creak/groan from their shocks going over a deep dip or speed bump too quickly? I usually get this in the colder weather, wonder if its normal or worth bringing to the dealership for warranty.

I'm planning on installing some lowering springs so I wanted to find out if this is normal prior to doing that otherwise I doubt Mitsu will even look at it, lol.

Thanks!

Had the same problem it was Sway bar end links. Cheap to fix. The OEM ones are crap.

Get a suspension inspection and you will need sway bar lube, end links and or tie rods.

I had the same issues with my GTS, but once I installed the HSD coilovers I have never experienced the creaking.

front sway bar endlinks from the dealer are $140+

I needed to replace one of mine and that's what they quoted me. I laughed and found cheaper links.

Maybe I'll swing buy Peak one of these days and ask him to inspect the suspension and see if I need to do it or not.
