2005 caravan sxt with 81k miles. It makes a creaking noise from the front when taking off from a stop and also when turning and hitting bumps. It is easy to reproduce the sound by stopping and again hitting the gas. As soon as you hit the gas the front end goes creak and its done. I checked the motor mounts and they are good. I had my wife put it in gear, hold the breaks while I gave it gas under hood and we could not replicate the noise. But as soon as she would take the breaks off and take off it would creak again. Any idea what it could be? It has been doing this for the last 1k miles and has gotten much worse in the last 100 miles. There aren't any popping noises and it drives, steers, and stops just as it always has. Thanks

 

I have same problem, almost exact on 06. will look forward to hearing direction to take to troubleshoot.

If you drive down the road and kind of swerve back and forth and it makes the noise, then it is the sway bar bushings.

 

The swerve back and fourth is not accompanied by noise. So have eliminated sway bar bushings, right?? What else should attention be directed to. Can I isolate something. I did that on end links by jack section of car up which took the constant pressure off the link and therefore was able to id the problem. the link.
