ok got a creaking coming from the engine bay or somewhere near and it creaks whenever I speed up slow down or take off I think it might be like a bearing near the wheel or something idk any ideas???

First guess would be front sway bar bushes.

lower control arm.
mine squeaks like an old sailing boat from days of yore...turning, take off and slow down.
sound familiar?

Front sway bushes are new...
Bennoz replaced them for me... About 2 weeks before the car was sold...

May be engine mount...
That was going to be the next lot of things I was going to replace on the car... I know I did one of them a while ago... As Aza and I heard a creaking from the front right of the car... And it was only on takeoff...
But can't remember if this was Bobby or Smurf ....

Its probably the rear lower control arm bush gone dry. Mine creaks every now and again, if they are poly.

I replaced them as well. Maybe the front ones though or droplinks.
