    Question Really nasty creaking sound....wtf

    alright.. i have new upper ball joints new shocks, one new spring, new axles, new control arm end links, new cv joints, and new brakes in the front end.
    everytime i get in my car and back it up it creaks.. like a lot... just moaning and creaking and then i drive and it randomly clunks and groans.... driving over bumps and stuff you cant hear anything but small hills and dips in the road cause one hell of a noise.. is something loose??? is it my lower balljoints?? i need some help. Thanks

    wow you changed soo many things it's difficult to say where the noise is coming from. Why don't you try bouncing the car and hopefully the noise will come up. Is it the front or rear?

    im thinking it's either my lower ball joints or something to do with my steering... because i havent touched those yet... the shocks barely have 7k on them... and theyre Monroe sensatrack gas schocks... theyre about 3x better than stock. at least they feel it... i dunno.. it's just a funny moan.. like something's loose.. kind of a metal on metal/rubber on rubber sound. lol, makes me kinda scared to drive it.

    Probably bushings up in that mofo. There are a few of them and they tend to go (mine did) after some years. My car creeked like it was gonna fall apart. Remote chance it could be coil springs, but I kinda doubt it. BTW, if you are rolling on stock springs, there is a good chance they are bad...
