freakin creakin
i cannot figure it out. I have a wierd creaking popping sound when i stop or get in/out of my car, sometimes when i close the door. It seems to be eminating from the right front. It sort of echoes too so it gives me the impression that the spring is in close proximity to the problem or it may be the problem. The springs are intrax lowering ones and the shocks are kyb 4 way. I have poly bushings and i think everything is tight but not sure now. The sway bar is my next guess but i just wanted to know if anyone else has been here. By the way i am pretty sure the spring is seated in the indent properly. thanks

I had poly bushings and they squeeked. They could be the problem... grease them and find out. Or get someone to get in and out of the car while you try and locate the noise.

Every piece of rubber in my suspension including engine & trans mount is polyurethane & the car creaks & rattles a good bit...everything is tight but remember that it ads a lot of stress to the rest of the car...
