Creaking Sound From The Front

[nuffsaid]

Hi all

My driveway is on a slight upward slant and when i reverse out of it I usually have it on full lock. This means that as I am reversing out, one wheel is on the driveway, and the other on the road.

When this happens, I get a creaking sound coming out of the front. Almost like the front bar is flexing and plastic is rubbing up against each other. It could even be the tops of the tein super street coilovers against the chassis? or even my whiteline sway bars getting noisey.

I also notice the same sound when i put more than normal pressure on the brakes. So if I step on it harder than normal, it will creak, when i let off the brakes no more sound, get back on it and the creak comes again.

I had the teins for probably a good half year, no sound. Then i put on the sway bars a couple months after, and within 2 months i started noticing the sound.

Suspension mods at the momment are:

- castor kit

- front and rear camber kits

- front and rear whiteline swaybars

- tein super streets

Thanks all!! any help is much appreciated as its really annoying

Try lubricating the swaybar bushes. I have a similar noise but when I lubricate the bushes it goes away.

Anyone have any other ideas? could it be anything other than the sway bar bushes?

I go the sway bar bushes as well , but when u got the car jacked up u may as well throw some grease on any suspension joint which looks dry

Mine creaks a bit during winter but goes away when it gets warmer.
