I have the same problem I can only hear it at like below 15mph, but that could be just ambient noise getting too high. I asked a shop around here about it, as i also have that bushing kit from ecs, and they said that if it doesnt creak when i m just sitting in the car and turn the wheel left and right, then its likely not those bushings. I only hear it like was said, going over speed bumps pitholes etc at low speed. I also have an 01225Q[8D]

Hrm... identical symptoms.
I don't hear any of it at speeds over like 15mph either. Maybe there's hardwood floors installed? *ahem*

I thought that was just the sound of the car complaining that you are going too slow and that it wants to get up and go.

Hey guys, i have the same knock when you turn the wheels all the way right or left...
ShouldI be scared of that sound??? Is something going to fall off ifI don't take care of it???... my suspension is quiet over bumps though.. maybe because i have a conv... different suspension???

I have a small "clunk" turning hard right in reverse every now and then, but I checked out my CV joints and boots and they were fine. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it unless it gets more frequent

Sounds like we all squeak...

Mine does it whenever the suspension is unloaded.

Usually over 45 mph, if I go over something in the road (bumps, small children, etc.) that causes the car to liftit squeaks. Especially on the kind ofconditions that make you "lose your stomach" (No, I don't mean driving through New Jersey).

I was actually just going to post something on here about my suspension creaking. At first I thought my drivers seat was just a little loose, cuz it would creak a little when i sat forward/back in it.....but then i noticed the creaking would happen when I went over bumps and definitely was coming from somewhere under the car. I'm pretty paranoid about things going bad on it, but from what I read, i shouldn't really worry?

Flush your power steering fluid first. It's a cheap DIY, and fixed it for me. I had a horrible creaking at low speeds, while turning my wheel as well.
cough...cough, i heard ^ works. I think you should give it a go. You may be surprised what can happen.

its the front sway bar bushings take a look at them and see what they look like....also make sure the bolts are still good and not sticking out a little as this will cause the creak(meaning the bushing is bad)
