Creaking noise from front end!
Could someone help me diagnose an issue with my gs300. I have a pretty loud creaking coming from the front of my car. It does it on and off but its doing it more now a days. It happens with i come to a stop and when i turn the wheel. It doesnt seem like its the struts or springs because i shake the car up and down and can't hear the noise. Me and a buddy think it may be the lower control arm but could use other's input.
Here's a video for the noise.

anyone ever heard that noise for a few days after the LBJ install? after I installed my moogs I had a similar noise but went away in about 2 miles.
I loaded the joints with new grease because they were not fully loaded from moog.

Yes, I will chime in as well. This is a well known problem and to add the info that everyone seems to be leaving out - if you keep driving, you could hit a bump or pothole (or not even) and the wheel will basically rip off your car - best case scenario, you need a new fender and knuckle, maybe a wheel, tire and tirerod end - oh and don't forget the ABS wire.
Worse case scenario - you'll wreck your car.
Even worse case? Don't even ask -
Tow your car to get the LBJ changed and check the uppers too.
