Creaking Noise When Driving at low speeds


Recommended Posts

When driving at low speeds on the street I hear creaking come from the rear passenger side. but I cant quite place it as it seems to come from the front also. When I come to a stop under braking I definitely can hear the creaking up front.

Doesn't seem to matter whether under throttle or in neutral

From some other posts it sounds like it could be the control arms.

I am planning on taking it in for some work early spring when I swap the tires from winter to summer, do a brake flush, and oil change.

My question is can I wait until March or by driving it am I going to make it worse and create a bigger bill????

Thanks for your help/guidance in advance.

I run a quick test on suspension bushings by spraying with a Teflon spray do not use a petroleum based spray that will destroy the rubber.

if the noise goes away after a couple miles replace those parts if not go to the next set of bushings, always replace in pairs.
