2017 G63 creaking noise help!

Hey y’all,

got this strange creaking noise that happens when I accelerate from standstill. The noise sounds like it’s coming from the drivers side. In relation to the drivers seat, the noise seems to come from the left and below the seating position.

any idea what could this be and if I can remedy this myself?

car is otherwise stock with 275/65/18 tires. It has seen dirt.

It could be a swaybar bushing or exhaust hanger....? hit the underside with some lubricant and see if that helps. I found my 08's front swaybar bushing were toast and got much worse when I lifted it before doing the longer links and new bushings..

My 2015 G550 has the exact same noise as you described. Changed all 4 sway bar bushings last week, it eliminated maybe 70% of the noise, but still there. I can even feel it physically very slightly from the driver seat floor. Could it be exhaust mount? Car has 78k miles on it now. Did you fix the problem at the end?
