i have a creaking noise inside te car from the front passenger side, it creaks when i turn and come to a stop, i dont really hear it when i go over bumps, iv listened to it from outside the car when its turned but you cant hear anything from outside only inside. when i was listening it was creaking but it could only be heard from the inside. iv read things about bushing and ball joints. i would think i would be able to hear it from outside because my brothers car could be heard from down the road turning. any ideas of what it could be? maybe my car had some flex issues?

As separate acts or as one act. As in:
- it creaks when I turn -AND- it creaks when I come to a stop
or - it creaks when I turn and come to a stop (at the same time)


Also, do you have a sunroof? and can you hear this creaking when the roof is all the way open?

i got the same problem and now i hear it in the back too or thats just things moving around. i have 02 with sun roof(closed), usually happens when i back out of the drive way and make a few turns after thats its gone. i dunno about hearing it from the outside.

Depending on the ambient climate, my sun roof creaks, and the creaks do go away after a couple turns. Initially about a year and a bit ago, I thought the creaking was from my suspension but with some strategic driving and really close listening I figured out it was the roof probably along with some body twist.

i would go outside and try to bounce ieach strut if no noise is produced then its probably the roof. the roof can be adjusted and lubed to stop the noise for the most part. Good luck!

Dude it's not roof. I have the same problem. It is one of the suspension components and after extensive research that I've done it must be lower ball joints in front. As far as the back I'm still researching..
