- Strut Mounts: The strut mounts are rubber isolators that connect the top of the shock absorbers to the vehicle's body. Over time, these mounts can wear out or become damaged, which can cause a creaking noise when the vehicle is turning or going over bumps.
- Control Arm Bushings: The control arms are what connect the vehicle's wheels to the frame. The control arms are attached to the frame using bushings, rubber or polyurethane isolators that can wear out over time. This can cause a creaking noise when the vehicle is turning or going over bumps.
- CV Joints: The CV joints are part of the vehicle's driveline and connect the transmission to the wheels. The CV joints are rubber-booted, but if the boots are damaged, dirt and water can get inside the joints and cause them to wear out. This can create a creaking noise when the vehicle is turning.
- Wheel Bearings: The wheel bearings are located inside the wheel hubs and allow the wheels to turn smoothly. If the wheel bearings are worn out or damaged, it can cause a creaking or grinding noise. This noise will usually be constant when the vehicle is moving.
