Why is my suspension creaking when I turn a corner?
Worn ball joints. If your suspension is making a squeaking or creaking noise when you go around corners, then this could point towards worn ball joints. Ball joints act as pivot points between the wheels and suspension and allow them to move freely. They are made up of a bearing stud and socket that fits inside a sealed lubricated casing.
What causes a creaking sound in the front of a car?
Creaking can be caused by worn suspension components, such as links, joints, or springs. It may also be possible that some of the bushings in these components, or in the chassis, may be worn or dried out and squeaking as a result. If the noise is coming from up front, it may be possible that the noise is related to the steering system.

Why does my front control arm make a creaking sound?
The sound is exactly the same sound that a front control arm made before I had it replaced. The car did NOT make this sound until I took it to a mechanic to have the front upper control arms replaced. The mechanic said that maybe putting the car up on the hoist caused the ball joint in the rear to drop and that caused the creaking.
Why is my car creaking on the hoist?
The mechanic said that maybe putting the car up on the hoist caused the ball joint in the rear to drop and that caused the creaking. This car does not have all the control arms on the rear like it has on the front so what could cause this, the shock absorber?
Why does my car make a creaking noise when I corner?
As well as creaky cornering, you may also hear a knocking sound when going over bumps. Worn out ball joints can also impact on handling. If your car is drifting to one side or the steering feels looser than normal, this is possibly caused by damaged ball joints. An uneven tyre wear pattern can also indicate problems with the ball joints.
