Right front suspension creeking sounds
Hey guys,
So my right suspension is making creeking sounds any ideas what I should take a look at? Everytime I accelerate, stop or do manuvers you hear creeking from the right front.
Lower control arm (good possibility its this or upper control arm?), struts (dampening is good), sway bar links (this would be making a clunking noise no)?

The Strut rod bushings could be a culprit. They wear out from the inside and will cause changes in caster when there is too much play. They will appear fine. They go from the lower control arm to a receptacle welded onto the frame. Look for shiny spots on the back indicating metal on metal contact
Another possibility is the upper control arm's pivot rod bolts are loose. This happened to me and was creaking. Sometimes the alignment guys don't get them tight enough. It is the main adjustment for alignment controlling camber and caster.
