Loud creaking sound
Hey guys lately ive been noticing if i have the windows down and hit a bump i here a creaking sound, so i tried to reproduce the sound and when i push down on *either side* of the front of the car i can reproduce the noise. struts(inc. mounts, bearings) both inner and outer tirods, both wheel bearings, both control arms with bushings & balljoints, sway bar endlinks and bushings all done, and both drive axels done within the last 10k.. So im gunna assume its somethjng else i may be wrong. When i lay under the car and have somebody reproduce the noise like i said before the creak is coming from the middle of the car. Right around the catalytic converter area and im out of ideas... Anyone have any ideas ?

That would be your struts, but if you're not hearing any noise when you push down on each corner and rock it, then that probably isn't the source of the noise even though it sounds like they are bad/leaking.

Struts are a month old still look mint and they are nice and stiff and dont make any sounds. Ive never done motor mount bushings or steering rack bushings and the car is at 154k im thinking to try doing those for the hell of it but the creaking im leaning towards a loose heat shield as its not to loud
