have no idea bro...im not good with suspension at all...I would go to a MAXi or someplace with a lift and have it lifted and checked out before it gets worse...I say go somewhere b/c if your anything like me you have no idea what to look for....tie rods, control arms, wheel bearings....i havent studied much of suspension and chassis at all...

I would use the common "NEON OWNERS" responce that "its just one of those cold-start/morning sounds....yet, I would say that you grease all your joints or it could be the front end bushings.....taking a shot in the dark...

Is your car lowerd? because if it is it mught just be the spring turning when you turn your tires, this happend to my sister lancer after my bro lowerd it for her which i had to fix. but yeah if it is and youwant a temorary fix, spray some WD40 at the top and bottoms of the springs
