for a while now, my left front tire has been creaking, not the tire itself, but the suspension, i have already replaced the ball joint and greased it but still the creaking persists. some say its my tie rods, some say i have a bad bearing, but those are just speculations. can anyone tell me whats up with my suspension, its pissing me off. if anymore details are needed respond to this thread. thanx

It could be the spring creaking as it gets compressed and rubs together. They sell some kind of plastic wrap to help with that. You could try spraying a little lube on the spring itself to see if that is actually the case. Not sure where to find the plastic stuff, I just know I've seen it somewhere. Maybe JC Whitney or something.
