Creaking on driver side

Post by topao »

I have this Loud Creaking sound on the drivers side at the front. it happens whenever theres movement of the car that causes it to go up or down even at the slightest. I originally thought it was the shocks so i replaced them, then thought Drop links so i replaced them, also replaced strut mounts but it still keeps happening


I've ordered some new bump stops,and outer tie rod ends to see if that fixes it but i'm a bit stuck about what it could be.


Any Ideas?
