I recently (in the past month) have noticed that my suspension feels a bit more sensitive than normal, it feels like i can feel every single bump on the road and im also hearing a creaking noise. I can recreate the noise when i press on the fender on the passenger side. I have some knowledge on fixing however i have not done much of any suspension work. Any thoughts?

Drive it up on blocks or ramps, verify sound can be duplicated once car is blocked. Have a helper push on nose while you listen and place you hand on suspect areas to feel the vibration. Likely suspects will be at any ball joint with a torn boot. If no tears, sway bar end links, followed by lower and upper ball joints. Worn links rarely make a car drive bad nor does loose lower ball joint as it has a giant spring pushing on it. A loose top BJ or tie rods, yes.

thank you for your help. I did have it checked out and I believe to have a strut issue.

FWIW - the Japanese to English conversion may in fact call the dampers, struts, but they are coil over shocks. Cars with upper control arms (ours), do not have a strut.
