OK, I have no idea what's going on..... WHY.... when I turn on the A/C...and leave it on for about 20 minutes or so.... my suspension starts "creaking" over bumps in the road, and the brakes make intermittent rubbing noises when braking...
this is only when the A/C is on for over 20 minutes or so..
When the A/C is OFF, the car is as silent as can be.
wtf?
I'm assuming it's moisture, condensation related...but wtf? It's just started doing this a few weeks ago.

Don't think it has anything to do with the AC being on - the condensate drain isn't anywhere near the suspension or brakes - something else is going on.

Then why does it only do it when the A/C is on?
I can drive for hours without the AC on...no noise...
but when I turn on the A/C, and wait several minutes, BAM there it is.
When I turn it off, the noise goes away after a few minutes.....
One thing I can say for sure though, it's definitely coming from the FRONT.
nonetheless, i'll check the bolts on and around the swaybar.
