Suspension noise when crawling over bumps

GonGo · 06-13-2012, 08:12 AM

I took a youtube video to better identify the noise source.

I'm trying to figure out if my bushings are done for or any suspension component that's culprit for this behavior.

creaking over bumps? if so, use white lithium grease on the inside AND OUTSIDE of the swaybar bushings and mount it back using the bracket.

should fix it.

Take it to a shop and check the suspension. It doesn't take long visually. First thing I think of are struts. Strut mount and bearing? Ball joints maybe? Sway bar and end links? Control arm?
