What do you guys think this is? It is coming from the front end of the car; broken motor mount? squeeky bushings (thats what the guy at the dealership said :wtf:), something wrong with suspension? I finallllly got rid of the damn clunk and now this is starting, oh and I notice it just usually happens when it is colder outside. Thanks

Front bushing is usually the problem. They squeek a lot more when the weather is a bit cooler.

i have a creeking/crunching noise that happens even when i'm not going over bumps...its got a rhythm to it that slows down as the car slows and speeds up as i go faster...any clues?

That's interesting.....is it from the front or rear?

yep, it's the bushings on the front sway bar.

has anybody lubed them before? what grease did you use? how hard was it to get to the bushings?

check you're crossmember, dont ask me how, but my nut backed off once, just a little bit, and made a horrid noise.

ive heard that lithium grease is the best to use when lubricating the bushings (mainly the rear sway bar bushings) eventually i too will do this...seems to work wonders for other forum members...i say, why not?

under the car, the big black strip that your front motor mount is attached to, check all the nuts and bolts holding to the car.

when mine came loose it also clunked really bad on turns.
