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?

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.
