Creaking noise....shocks?
Hey guys, I've noticed this when it's cold out (like this morning...32 degrees here in Mass), whenever I go over a bump I hear a creaking noise...could this be a sign of bad shocks? struts? springs? Which one? All 3? heheh...
Thanks again

probably bushings. Do you have any aftermarket suspension parts or is it all OEM?

Well, when my struts went bad I was bouncing left and right all over the road. It got worse when I put the ST springs on, and I new that I needed struts bad...

Looks like I might have to, now that I think about it

I'm a cheap bastard though, I don't want to fork out the cash to have a shop replace my struts...hehe

I've got the same year Maxima with he same creak sound, and I definately need front shocks. There's probably a connection there, but I haven't gone over the front suspension yet. It only happens when I go over large bumps like speed bumps (when the struts are really working).

What is the CV joint, and is it seriously $1000?

I had a boot replaced for $140 parts & labor, but my joint was still usable. I don't know how much a new axle costs.

My front end creeked over bumps too. It was the urethane bushings to my ST Anti-sway kit. It just got new shocks and still creeked. I un-bolted the brackets, pulled the bushings as far apart as they would go and re-lubed them with some gorilla-snot, bolted everything back up and no more creeking.
