2003 C32 Front suspension Noise
My front suspension is really noisy lately, even over small bumps in the road I can hear it squeaking like crazy.
What could this be?

Are the end links the same things as the "control arms"? I've had two driver's side and three passenger "control arms" go bad (dealer just keeps on warrantying their work... go figure) and this is the exact symptom I get when I know to send it back and complain.

I get a creaking sound when I back up and turn the steering wheel to the right and when I turn right i get a creaking noise. I have narrowed mine down to the control arms ( torque strut arms) The tech made a not of them when they changed my pulley, so I need to replace the drivers side since the pass side was replaced when the curb i was forced into wiped out my suspension

Well I ended up bring my car into the dealer, they found:
1. Left and right thrust arm bushings are torn and leaking
2. Sway bar and bushings and links
They replaced those, and wow what a difference! Feels so much more solid.

did the thrust arm and sway bar bushing replacement make the ride more solid and eliminate the noise? i wouldnt really care much about the noise if the drive was not so sloppy/loose as it is. its like my c32 has arthritis in the front suspension and its noisy achy and loose.
