Well it just keeps getting worse now, I have a front end creak and I dont know what the hell it is. Only happens when Iam coming to a stop. I have been under there several times now and I still havent found anything, but I was talking to a guy today and he told me to spray some grease or something onto the front end bushings. Would this help me? Anyone else have this problem possibly? I mean it sucks driving around and people look at the car and such, then when I start to stop it makes all this racket.

So just let me know what you guys think, usually after I leave a thread on here I get my answer within afew hours, and I just figured I would say thanks for that seeing as Iam still young and have lots to learn!

Well, now no one will answer. J/K.

This one might require some leg work on your end though. Places that I would look at are: the control arm bushings mentioned, the spring isolators, the top strut bushing (rubber), and ball joints.

There are other places/things, but those are the ones I would start with (Others may have very differing opinions). Really one just has to get under there (with the car secured properly) and mess around and observe what happens.

Good luck.

It's hard to diagnose driveability problems without driving the car and feeling it out.

This leaves the usually replys of "check everything that moves with the chassis."

Maybe have a seasoned gear-head drive your car and try to form a solid conclusion.

That was the plan Iam going to have a friend of mine drive it and chances are he'll know what it is. Just figured if it was something little I could figure it out before I start letting other people drive my car. Iam alittle protective.
