Weird creeking in suspension. Need help
Hello everyone. I recently had new engine and trans mount put on and now there is a creek when I hit certain bumps or I enter the driveway on an angle . I changed the sway bar bushing and end link and its still there. I even changed the inner and out tie rod and nothing. Sometimes its only on the driver side but when the suspension flexes like we I turn the steering wheel and go into my garage it feels like its going from side to side. I took it to the mechanic and all the ball joints and bushings are good. Anyone experienced this ?

Hi, I have the same problem.Changed anti roll bar bushes and links...did sort creaking and slight knock but returned after spirited drive
when reversing on to my drive.Looked at it again with both wheels off and lifted hub carrier with a jack until the noise was replicated.
The offside bush was holding and giving out when under load causing the creak,I then removed offending bush and noticed rust on
the bar,I then rubbed the bar down and cleaned off rust with rust eater,replaced bush touch of silicon on inside of bush and re-assembled.
Guess what?...it still creaks New roll bar time? or has someone a hack?

I lub up h&r sway bar bushing now noise is gone, just before this I had change everything except for the top hat. Has the exactly same problem you have. After top hat and bearing changed everything good as new. I used lemforder for replacement, around 180CAD and I did it myself about 3HRs work

Thanks for the help everyone. Mine isn't only creeking but when I go into and out of my drive way I get a popping sound like something is giving way. Do you guys have part numbers or what exact part was replaced?
