Ok, seems that this noise is comming from my front passenger side wheel/suspension area. It happens at partial brake (not on hard braking or soft braking, like a smooth stop from 35 will get the noise) or when turning left. I did a few turns around my cul-de-sac in both directions and it only makes it turning left, no hint going right. Any ideas?

Honestly how does that relate to what he's asking in any way? I thought it was already explained to everyone that "get an SR" is not the answer to everyones problem... did you even read his post?

He said the noise was coming from the wheel/suspension area... how in the hell is swapping in an SR going to solve his problem?

check the TC rod bushings. my car would creak under light braking and i replaced the driver's side TC rod with one from my clip and problem solved.

I have Project Silvia pillow ball t/c rods on the car. After looking at the tie rod ends and the sway bar endlinks, I bet it is one of them. I am chaning both tomorrow (Tein t/r and Whiteline endlink bushings) so we shall see if that clears it up.
