Forgive me if there is a thread on this already but I've recently noticed that the front end of my car creaks when turning right (only) and going over speed bumps. When the weather is really cold it doesn't do it hardly but on days like today where it's close to 50 degrees, it starts doing it again. Seems like a suspension deal and I've heard people mention tie rod ends and control arm bushings etc. with this kind of noise but with my car only having 80,000 miles I'm puzzled. Just want to know if anyone has had this problem with their GS under 100k miles and what the issue may have been for you or what you think it could be for me. Plus I am getting coils real soon so wanting to handle this before doing so. Will eventually take it to the shop but just checking the forum first as you all have helped with other things in the past!

Sounds like you have one or more rubber suspension bushings that are creaking. Most of the time this is first heard during cold weather...and is not necessarily heard during warmer temperatures.

Did you get anything resolved on this? I was literally about to post the same thing you described. I looked on the car and everything looks normal. Did you end up replacing anything?

thanks

I had the same issue, turned out it was the hood. If I press on the hood with two fingers I could replicate the creak.
I just had to adjust the rubber hood stoppers so that they apply even pressure to and hood and no more creak.

I just unscrewed the stoppers all the way out and re-screw them, making the same number of turns, then close the hood to check, keep turning until the hood was flush with the fender.

I checked things out like you and everything looked fine! I haven't had a shop check it out yet but now that it's warm it's doing it a lot more so will get it checked out here soon.
I''l check that out too! It's just weird because it sounds like it's coming from under the car or the suspension and only does it when I turn to the right or go over a speed bump... but who knows. I checked all the suspension to the best of my knowledge and all looked fine.

Do you have the 2-piece rotors. I have the 2018 gs350 fsport and it was that. Just throwing it out there.

I had the same issue and it turned out to be my hood stoppers. Try putting some lube on them and or the spots under the hood they rest on.
