Hi everyone, I am new here but I recently installed VWR lowering springs with ECS top mounts and bearings. This was a great upgrade but overtime I started to get some weird popping/creaking sounds coming from the front. (I used all new hardware).
I researched it and I replaced my sway bar end links with 034 dynamic+ sway bar endlinks and decided to replace my top mounts and bearings with the 034 strut mounts/bearing combo thinking this was the issue. This got rid of 90% of my issue but now I'm hearing some creaking while turning while stopped/moving at low speed.
I researched more and found that it could be loose endlinks (I checked this and they are tight), possible worn front sway bar bushing, worn ball joints, or worn tie rods.
I brought it somewhere to get looked at it and they couln't find anything. Rip $140.
Video: (very quiet, need to crank the volume but it sounds like an old wooden ship, to me, creaking on the water)
Thank you for helping!
