I have a creaking noise going over bumps while driving if the road is not smooth. Cab? Or something else. 09 lnf 55k on stock suspension. Thanks in advance

could be anything

endlink, swaybar bushings, cabs, steering column.

my endlinks went out at around 30 000kms,

I had a few things in mind but hoped a slim chance someone could narrow it down. Thanks

Start by taking off the end links and driving it. See if the noise goes away. Cabs are usually more of a clunk than a squeak

The front suspensions on mine squeaks like a SOB when cold.

Didn't do it a week ago in the warm.

Does it every winter.

Go over somewhat bumpy railroad tracks slowly with your windows down. If it clunks or bangs going slowly over tracks its for sure CAB's. If not it could be your endlinks, do what kzak said its actually what i did to isolate mine. (get the moog ones in that case with the grease fittings) those are what i would start with.

Well this is the first time I've heard it in the 3 years I have owned it. It's supposed to be warmer this weekend so I'll see if it does it then.

I'll check this out there are tracks not far from my house.

go over them a couple times starting off extremely slow and speeding up a little bit. If its not an obvious clunk i'd look more towards end links like kzak said.

Ok I'll try this its pretty noticeable on grass or roads that have stones and rocks at low speed but I started hearing it on paved roads

Had some bangs and squeeks a couple seasons ago.

Changed the Tie-Rods, and it felt and sounded better.

I still get a little clunking over bigger bumps and train tracks.

I've had COB's for almost 2 years now just waiting for my OEMS to crap out before replacing them.

I'd start with the Tie-Rods, and go from there.

Stock CAB's only last about 2 years.

I have cab on the way

So I've had front end clunks for a while. Tonight I just replaced most of my suspension. Brand new control arms with Powell's CABs, brand new struts and springs, brand new sway bar end links, and still have clunking! Only thing left is tie rods. After that, possibly the front sway bar and or sway bar bushings.

Do the sway bar bushing first.

i replaced my lower control arms and it helped the noise a little on my car, but I have the same issue, when its cold its worse, but I also have 210k miles on my car and that's all I have changed in the front end. Think I need to change some stuff now, getting nice out and I want my car to last
