Default creaking sound from suspension.

I just started hearing noises or creaking sounds from my front right suspension. I have Tein S Tech springs on my GS4. I would hear it when I would hit a bumps or dips. Is this normal?

it can possibly be that your tierod end needs adjusting. there is a spring inside of it that can cause noise when you go over bumps, giving you that creeking sound. I had the same problem, and the dealer made the adjustment free of charge while I was in for service. No more creaks
