Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I read a thread where everything was replaced, only to find the inner tie rod was causing a creak in the suspension.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

With my suspension creaking and squeaking, I was wondering if shocks/struts, springs, etc wear by just supporting a car for 10 years - even though I have only 22k miles?

POST 2Original post

sound like an old wooden ship does it? most likely lower control arm bushings - replace whats worn and keep on driving.....

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yeah, when it warms up, it sounds like something needs to be lubed! Before it warms up (like when my mechanic probably drove it), it doesn't creak or moan. Does the engine heat cause faulty bushings to make noise?

POST 4Original post

is it in the rear?

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Sounds like it's in the rear. When I go over a speed bump, I hear it when the front goes over, probably because of the stiff body that transmits the movement to the rear right away? If it is in the rear, does that change the diagnosis?

POST 6Original post

I know the front LCA's being worn out is "fairly" common, not sure about the rears they suffer that same fate, but most likely if you can get a friend to push up and down on the body while you are under it with a screwdriver stuck to your ear...(the handle end ) you can poke around and pinpoint the source

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

What about the tie rods? I read a thread where everything was replaced, only to find the inner tie rod was causing a creak in the suspension.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
