Started to notice it a few months ago, but after about 45minutes of driving, the car starts to develop a creaking noise on the driver side area under the hood/fender. It sounds like it could be the suspension, but I'm not sure.

i cant pin-point the exact area, but when i press down and rock the car a little (on the driver side area) you can really hear the creaking and its really bothering me and has been.

anyone know whats the deal?

sounds kind of like a bad spring or shock? do you have aftermarket springs? if so what brand?

LS1Vince

no they are stock im 95% sure.

although, the shocks may be Koni. I'd have to check after work :/ (i only say this cause they are like a faded yellow lol)

Check the sway bar bushings, if you aftermarket sway bars you may just need to lube the bushings if you have the stock rubber bushings you may want to look into getting some aftermarket poly-urethane bushings like Energy Suspension or Prothane.

I have the same issue after the same amount of drive time. I don't really notice it until I am almost home. I creaks when I get out of the car and a little when I shut the door too. I figured it was just the springs or shocks but it didn't seem to be a big deal to me since the car handles great.

I'll look into some of the lube points.

LS1Vince

nice to know im not the only one lol If you end up fixing it, let me know what you did! I'll see if a buddy of mine can get it checked out this weekend. Thanks guys!

if anyone else has any idea as to what it could be, please share!

Damn, ***** weak but no biggie. Btw, think you have Bilstein's cause they came in the SLP package stock, especially in '00's and they're faded yellow.
