Creaking front end?

[fotballlee]

I drive an '03 GAGT ramair and I have been noticing a few noises from my front end. My dad happens to work for GM as a body man, but I am pretty sure he'd kill me if I approached him and told him there was something wrong with my car.

Everytime I go over "humps" in the road, something in the front end of the car makes a lower creaking noise. In the back of my mind I am thinking it is something to do with the strut.

Also, whenever I press the brake, there is an awful creaking noise at my front right wheel. It makes the noise when stationery or moving. It sounds almost like plastic rubbing on plastic. It is quite embarassing pulling up to a stop sign and having my front brake creak, then pull away to let more creaking noises annoy a pedestrian as I pull over the road surface.

I'm having the same problem; it kinda sounds like something's loose underneath. I have a feeling it's only the bushings since my SE has 57,000 miles on it. I'll have it looked at when I have my struts replaced

I'd say either bushings or strut mounts.

The creaking from the brakes is most likely a slide pin that needs to be lubed.

Yup. Looks like I skipped over that part in the original post. :oops:
