My car does the same thing. It's getting colder outside now and it's just getting worse. At first it seemed like it was just creaking during turns, but now it's doing it almost all the time. I can be driving down the street and it's doing it. Is this the motor mounts too or could it be something different?

I get creaking whenever the car rocks at all, like when stopping or starting farily abruptly, or when I hit a speed bump that causes it to rock.

I want to get rid of the squeaking but it is hard to tell what it is...

The sway bar end links on the coupes arent rubber bushings, they are a rod with two ball joints. Its usually the rubber bushings dry out/wear out that make a squeak.

Default Front End Creaking

I had the same problem - was driving me nuts. Pinky's Automotive in Hollywood replaced the transmission mounts ($250.00) and the problem has been solved. Gotta tell ya the mechanics at Pinky's are fantastic.
