I searched on this topic and I just don't know what the next step is. On my 2003 p5 I have this metal on metal creaking noise every time I accelerate from full stop. Also happens when I let go the gas shortly thereafter. Happens mostly on stop and go traffic and low speeds. Noise is not present when I'm on the freeway or running over potholes or imperfections on the road. Pushing down on the car does not replicate the noise. I can only replicate it by pulling/lifting up on the driver side fender and holding it by the wheel well.
I tried a few tips from other threads
Greasing bump stops, greasing sway bar bushings, tightening nuts and bolt on lower sub frame and sway bar links, checking caliper dust shields if it's binding and checking for bearing play.
Still did not cure the creaking noise. Any other ideas? I had a mechanic drive it and he said it could me a number of things. Thanks
