Car has a little over 100k on it. To date I have never had one thing go wrong with the car. I have noticed at low speeds when I turn right....I hear a creaking noise from the front of the car.

Anyone encountered this?

it's unusual for car to be creaking at that age. Just make sure it's not a popping noise, if so, replace your Lower ball joint right now.

agreed with sam, please look at the stickie in the suspension section for our GS's

I had the same symptoms but ignored it and my balljoint failed in the middle of the road on me. Look into replacing both balljoints asap. I have heard BJs failing earlier than 100k. Mine happened right around 110k

How much am I looking at?

I had loose inner control arm bolts. Not real loose but enough that I had a creak in parking lots and speed bumps that made me crazy. Check them before replacing the ball joints.

dude, i ignored that noise and i regret so badly now

i didn't think of much and thought that it was my coilovers but
mine failed while i was in a parking lot,

the wheel came loose from the ball joint and the fender sat and rolled over the wheel...

it would have been very dangerous if i was moving at higher speeds

from the responses of the users on this thread, is this something common with our GS??

seriously, please have your suspension looked at, specially your ball joints

see pic below, does anybody have Silver FR RH Fender and Speed Sensor? lol
