I have a creaking/squeaking noise coming from my left front.
it squeaks and creaks with both suspension movement up and down and steering movent left and right. It is coming from the left front area. i dont hear it anywhere else. I cant feel it in the steering wheel.
sorry about the poorly worded post. its late and im very tired.

i think your right.
i climbed underneath it today, while bouncing the car. the lower control arm is where the noise is coming from.

this is how you determine any suspension noises. put your car on a lift and turn the wheel from left to right. you will see ANY and EVERYTHING thats bad. and most likely you will see your bushings will look all bent outta shape rubbing against the cntrl arm.
