Default Front end creaking

my front end has begun creaking sporadically whilst driving. I don't know if has something to do with the shocks or front clip. I know when I wash the car and am scrubbing the front end/grill it makes a similar sound, but not as noticeable. what could this be? I'm thinking my front end may be a little loose but I can't seem to reproduce it manually by pushing on it.


also, looking for a good lowering kit and also information on wheel spacers: worth it for the look? thanks.

Default RE: Front end creaking

Starting to hear the creaking much more now. At first when I start up the car and drive I hear nothing, but after a few minutes of driving i begin to hear creaking/popping from both front tire areas and can feel it slightlyin the steering wheel and floor of the car. I have been unable to reproduce it witha mechanic friend in the car. I can really hear it when pulilng into my driveway as each tire changes incline I hear the sound. I had it serviced this weekend: oil change and alignment. Asked the tech to inspect it for me. He found nothing wrong. What gives!!!

Geez, if I had to guess I'd think maybe tie rod ends? or maybe the springs. Just don't know. I have some Peders lower springs if your interested. Will lower it about 1.5 inches. E-mail me at dchristy@rodey.com if your interested.
