When I first got my TL almost 2 yrs ago it made a slight creaking noise going over speed bumps. Now it does it as I pull into te garage and go over an inch incline. It's very loud now on bumps. I've looked around the forum all dy but all I really found was that it could be the bushings or it could be the shocks or the motor mounts or now someone says I need window lube. Wtf haha. I have 91k on it now from 35k in June 2011 so it's definitely been drivin a lot the past years. I just need help narrowing it down a bit. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks fellers

 

Anyone?

 

Lube your front sway bar bushings, cheap and easy to see if it goes away. Use a silicone paste or similar lube. Only apply to the sway bar surface.

 

I hear a similar noise on my car.
It seems to be coming from the front sway bar rubber mounts.
I purchased new "rubbers" for it but am finding that back bolt is a bitch to remove.
According to the service manual you need to lower the subframe.
I think i'll just continue to spray some wd-40 or silicone in there.

 

Can't be sure of these sound problems but..

You say 1 inch incline. That should not be engine mounts nor shocks
Positive

Creaking noise... yeah could be small parts such as bushings and etc. but it won't disturb you that much or crazy bad at bumps

I replaced my front/rear sway bar bushings, and links.
Conditions of them were like 2 out of 10.
Didn't hear any creaking noise before I replaced them.

"It's very loud now on bumps"
Open this up more will ya

Hard or smooth sound?
Always at same tone?
Did you pass from a bump and didn't hear it once?
or
You hear it always?

 

Dealing with suspension squeaks is going to be a hit-and-miss proposition at best, and everyone pointing to a bushing is probably right. If I was in your shoes, I'd get a can of my favorite silicone spray and lube up one bushing at at time and recreate the "squeak event" until I found the culprit. It might take 5 minutes or an hour, but eventually no squeak would go unlubed...
