Creaking sound while driving

Post by onesidered »

Hi guys,

Recently the car has started making creaking noises while driving. It is not during braking, it happens more toward making turns/going over bumps, etc. It sounds like it is coming from under the car and it resembles a squeaky, creaking wooden house floor board.

Any thoughts?

I'm guessing a bushing somewhere in your front end is getting old. My car does this too sometimes.

I found my strut mounts were my squeak. Put a little oil in the top of the strut and noise goes away. I know I need new struts and will change them with the struts.
