Fixed it!!!!!

Crawled under the car and wiggled the crap out of every suspension part.

And guess what it was?

One of the bolt that holds that plate that hold the lower control arm no2 was loose!! No more creaking sound!

still think its the bushing though

SlowNShow>>>>sounds like you have bent wheel, or bed tire.


i have same noise, i have replaced most of the front suspension. i took it to my mechanic again and he point out to the pads. when you reverse the car and than go forward and apply brake you hear POP ( metal to metal) He showed me that even with brand new fit kit my pads are shifting . The pads i have are green so im thinking thy are EBC green , im gonna put original pads and see and hope it fixes my problem.

if you have new OEM pads and new fit kit than the noise won't be related to your pads.

Two weeks ago I ended up running ontop an embankment not my fault and my right side wheel got cracked luckily nothing bad happened only this weekend I started to hear a clunk noise really hard when I reverse, go over a bump , going into the drive way I looked at everything and nothing seems broken ... could the fact that my car is set up for 20's and dropped and I am now running on 16 stock no alignment can possibly be causing the clunk more ...please advise - thanks

possibly yes.. The 20's probably put unwanted stress on the bushings and basically stretched them out. Going back to 16's...well the damage is already done from the 20's.. I think this is how it happens. Are cars are fine until we put 20's on there and thats when the noises start.. Sounds like from what i heard that TM engineering has the daizen kit in stock.. Change the bushings..

I have the same problem with the popping noise. I was told by "Lexus mechanics" that it may be the bushing in the control arm or something in the suspension? without a million dollars and my first born they wouldn't look at it.
