I noticed an intermittent creak in the left front suspension when I'm accelerating slowly uphill or backing downhill with the wheels slightly turned to the right. I can't seem to find anything loose. Anyone else have this problem? I also have suspension braces up front. What mileage should you consider lube in the ball joints?

I am wondering this also...with a creak might be worth pulling it down to look at that sealed bearing!------------------ 2000 Black, 2001 Black Tie, 2001 Orange

I experienced that on my car initially but When I put on a new front end with new bushings the noise went away. Check with dealer.------------------

Carlini was able to talk the vender into doing the bushings install after Georges frontend was done being chromed back in 1999.They are Stock bushings and No Carlini can not do it again. There are no bushings other than stock.
