My IS250 AWD is creaking in the left front suspension, in cold temps 0-30 degrees F when I accelerate and turning. Does anybody else's car do this in the winter, and does anybody know what it could be?

Thanks.

Could be from the pads. My friend's IS250 make a creaking sound when he lets off the brake slowly after it rains or the car has been sitting around for some time. It doesn't get that cold around here in FL. lol

i personally think its the exhaust. i had the same sound when i would accelerate in my 350z. its from the engine moving to the headers to the flex pipe to the cats ect..

check your seat bolts. My squeaks and it was hard to pin down at first. There is also a TSIB if you find that this is the cause.

Do u have aftermarket springs?????

As stated above, could be the seat, brake pads sticking, or simply a rubber bushing in the suspension. Fiveohnine is right, I have mine in for the TSIB for the seat and it was annoying. Especially in the morning when the car is cold from sitting out overnight.

I had an issue in my car that would happen with turns and speed bumps. Turned out to be my passenger seat. They cleared it up by trimming a piece of trim. It was covered in a TSIB.

Thanks for the notice on the seat trim. Can you post the item code from the TSIB on your paperwork?

Ok, dont laugh at me because this is all new to me,.. but what is a "TSIB"

Ok, maybe you guys can laugh at me just a little bit

Technical Service Information Bulletin, it essentially extends the warranty to cover specific issues (brake dust, squeaks, etc) that might normally not be covered.

i think it is the suspension
i have a 4X4 that i'm not gentle with , after i start it in cold weather and drive without warming up, in speed bumps i hear the suspension squeaking but after 5 minutes the sound is gone.

Thanks FiveohNine

Just got mine 10 days ago. Not a single problem like that, and we just got a cold blast.
