Ive got a problem, and its pissing me off lol.
When coming out of my driveway, or going over speed bumps, or anything like that, it sounds like my whole chassis is creaking.
I was told that its in the suspension somewhere, i think it might be the suspension rubbers or something. i dont know 100%
Soo just wondering if anyone has or had the same problem, and has a solution?
Cheers =]

We're going to need the location of the noise before giving any good advice. Listen and feel for the vibrations while you have someone push down on the car. More than likely it's the front upper control arm bushings, but really it could be anything... Find the area it's coming from and post your results, don't waste our time.

I have a similar sound, turns out it was a worn/unlubricated driver's side radius rod. It could also be a worn ball joint.

As LX-incredible said, try to pinpoint where the sound's from!...

Upper control arm bushings or ball joints. Don't see how the lower control arm bushings can squeak unless they're completely shot to hell.

+1 for control arm bushings and sway bar bushings.

should be easy and quick to temporarily unbolt your sway bars, and drive around a bit to see if the noise remains. :D
