I know this topic has been posted before but I couldn't find a good thread about it while searching. I'm getting a creaking noise from the front end. It is most noticable when I go over speed bumps and the suspension is compressing and uncompressing. I also notice it a bit when I turn the wheel a little and accelerate (Like when pulling away from a curb). The tie rod ends are new so that can be ruled out. I'm just wondering what bushings or bolts could cause this and which solutions are the most inexpensive to start my trial and error with. Thanks.

Balljoints. It had me boggled for about a month before I changed mine, but new ones cured the creeky-squeeky for me. I could also feel a slight vibration in the chassis when it would make the noise too.

I'd also note that it can be a strut mount. But with all the mods you've done Justin, I doubt you have stockers anyhow.

Good luck.

If it is the ball joints are the Steeda ones worth the $130 price tag?

I don't. They might be worth taking a look at though. They have been on there a while.
