Loud Creaking Noise front right side tire
I noticed a loud creaking noise from the front right side by the tire. It goes off when I push the front up and down, moving the tire left and right, slow and fast speeds.


Last time this occurred I replaced the thrust arm bearing and nut about 50,000 miles ago.


What does everyone think this is?


Which parts should I order?


Thanks in advance.

upper or lower control arms perhaps. Does it do it when going over a speed bump?

I just had the same thing and it was the lower control arm. Not sure what the part number is. It was covered under warranty.

AMG brakes? You'll see individual AMG take offs on eBay, just pick up an OEM rim and mount a comparable tire.

When you say moving the tire left and right, do you mean from a stop or while cornering?

Lower Control Arm cured it. $580 for arm and labor + the initial bearing replacement.
