creaking sound in s14? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

theres a creaking sound everytime i turn right at analmost stop speed, such as parking or leaving. sometimes i hear it when i brake too. it sounds like its coming from somewhere in the front drivers side. i was thinking maybe its coming from my steering or maybe the bushing from the steering arm thing. i took off my front sway bar end link because it broke on that side, i'm waiting for nissan to call me because ordered it. i was hearing the sound before that though but now it seems worse. does anyone know whats going on? or what i should do?

Hey, sorry to bring back an old thread.
Found this when i was searching and I have the exact same problem.

Anyone know what would cause it? It started right after putting on a new set of coilovers. Also just replaced the tension rods.

have you tightened the coilovers since you put them on?

Hmm, Not really.
I retightened the bolts on top, but not the lower bolts or the adjustment rings.
You think maybe they came loose and would casue that?
