Default My car, the 19th century wooden man o' war

Ok, so she's not made out of wood, but she sure creaks and groans like she is whenever the temp gets over 90 degrees.

We had a small heatwave in Minnesota here the past week, and it even made it to 100 two days ago.

Creeeak, grooooan! She would do it mostly at slow speeds when turning, but I could even hear it while driving straight.

I'm thinking it's time for a control arm kit replacement this summer.
