Hi all, Just wanted to get everyone's opinion on something: my 2000 C4 creaks pretty loud when go over short or long bumps. It's kinda embarrassing.... I think it's springs, but I'm no expert. Thoughts? Thanks, John

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

front bushings
I think its time to look under the car. Shocks might causing this.
Bushing or shocks. Bushings even new like the dastardly neoprene straight from the factory will drive a guy nuts with creaking. Sure neoprene is hard and long lasting for suspension bushings but they will creak just as long. So if you have a neoprene suspension or any other just try a bushing lube. It's best applied before installing but eh. Shocks or springs it might be the spring roosts/seats. Good luck getting rid of the noise.
