Hi guys. I have a creeking noise in the front end which only happens when it gets hot. I can feel it slightly in the wheel. I have replaced shocks, mounts lower control arms, tie rods and ends, drop links, and lubed the sway bar bushings. When the car is cold and for 15-20 minutes, it will be nice and quiet but once it gets hot or if I park it outside on a hot day it starts up again. Sounds like rubber/metal or a bushing but I can feel it in the wheel. Mechanics are hands up. Car is 99 C2 with 50K on it. Any help out there??


Thanks!

 

Mine does the same thing and did it before and after I fitted new coil overs so I know it's not them. My car is running the original coffin arms etc so I planned to replace those as I expect it's them creaking.

 

When you replaced the arms and other suspension components was the suspension loaded when the bolts were tightened or was it hanging?

 

Hi Chi-town,

Yeah the suspension was hanging as I did the job on axle stands

 

Try and loosen the bolts and re-tighten them with the suspension loaded. I've seen suspension noises when tightened when unloaded.

 

I need to correct the rear camber on mine so will be ordering the Elephant Racing adjustable rear arms in the new year. Will buy as set of axle stands and try tightening it up loaded up. Thanks mate

 

were the strut tower mounts replaced?
