ok since i got my car about 1 1/2 - 2 years ago its made a creaking noise. its pretty random sometimes all i have to do is lean against my car or turn the steering wheel and it creaks. about a year ago i decided it was a bit embarrassing and that i wanted to fix it lol. my dad told me it was probably the struts, so got new ones and had a shop put them on. when i was picking my car up i pushed down on the front end to see if the noise was gone and it wasn't. the guys were nice enough to real quick put my car up on a lift and take a look, they said the creak sounded like it was coming from my lower control arm bushings, and on a side not that my axle need to be replaced pretty soon and my wheel bearings needed to be replaced, but that i had plenty of time before they absolutely had to be replaced. so replaced the drive shaft (which got rid of a clicking noise) and the bushings, but still the front end creaks, any ideas? Thanks in advance.

its probably the lateral arm. take it to a dealer and have them check those because they are on recall. when they go dry that make that creaking noise

on my car, its the shocks. i took it to a shop and thats where they said the sound was coming from. apparently, a lot of chrysler cars had this happen to them. nothing to worry about if its just the shocks squeaking.
