Creaking question

[san rensho]

Low speed creaking is commen and easily, and usually temporarily, fixed by injecting grease, wd40 or some other lubricant into the lower control arm ball joint boot. Search and ther are many DYIs on how to do this fix.

I've never heard of the trunk latch causing suspension creaking.

And what is this "big bang" that you heard when you were driving into the club. Did you hit something? Normal driving does not cause bangs. Please explain.

Thanks San Rensho and Jager. I have an appointment on Friday with my local tech to put her on the lift and see what the deal is with it. Hopefully this is just a case of lubricating the ball joints as suggested cause I would like to be able to take a few months to gather funds for the row m030. Those control arms are a bit pricey. Although it looks like Vertex has a rebuilt arm for a lot less.

The bang I heard happened only that one time so maybe I ran over something. I just did not see anything nearby. So maybe whatever I ran over went flying much farther away from my car.
