So I changed my rotors and pads (front and rear) caster arm bushing, ball joints and outter tie rods.

Symptoms: Creaking while braking, clunking when hitting bumps occasionally, clunking/creaking when i roll from a stop. All from the front passenger side.

Thoughts: Could all of these symptoms be cause from blown shocks? I know my fronts are toast, just been to busy to fix them. I've had issues when installing the new caster arm bushings as well, was getting clunking noises while stopping and still get it when I slam on my brakes, may just run OEM bushings.


thoughts?

I currently have the same issue after changing my front brake pads...I assume it's my wheel bearings that's going bad because when I put the brakes on, rolling to a stop, I hear a creekIng noise...I'm going to change my wheel bearing soon and I'll let u know if that was the problem.

Check this post out. vipxjunky, I think you have the same issue as me. I changed my wheel hub, bearings, and seal in the driver side and that cured my issues.

Luda, I think you should have posted this in the suspension section. You may get more help there.

Category,
It sounded really bad, but now no noises in the front of the car at all.

I'd replace those shocks since you need to anyway, then see if the sound is still there. If it is I'd inspect your calipers and make sure you aren't missing any retaining clips.

my car does sound similar to that, except its more of a clicking noise rather then a spring noise...Im going to replace the wheel bearings anyways to see if thats the problem...i hope its not my wheel hub lol

No, I'll try to get a sound clip of my noise.

I attached a file of me pulling into my driveway and pulsating the brakes to recreate the creak.

Normally, its like a loud bang after I release the brakes.

I think the noise is from my caster bushing. I replaced both with PSB bushings and still got a noise on both sides until I really tightened them down.

Thats the only thing that makes sense because the noise happens when I go over a bump AND when I release or step on my brakes hard. The sound is like a clunk.
