98 LS Suspension Creak w/ vid
I use to get this annoying creak up front when it was hot out and I had driven on the highway. Temps had to be pretty high to notice what appeared to be a low speed creak/moan; figured 'whatever' expanded and left it at that.
Sadly it got cooler and yesterday I started noticing the same noise but worse. It comes and goes and is most noticeable after it's sat a bit. I actually forgot until this evening and it was cooler today than yesterday; ergo it was worse.
The sound is most obvious on gradual right turns at speed and would intensify the faster I would go; I first noticed it while doing 25/30 making a gradual right on the road to Sam's Club. I parked, took a look and saw nothing (expected) and when I left I fired up my phone.
The vid below is the worst it has sounded in the past 36 hours and is very obvious when I am going straight ahead, then goes away when I turn left and comes back again on all those right turns I made.
Video is more for sound than visual but the noise is pretty obnoxious.
Any thoughts? I am thinking something related to an upper strut mount because of the prevalence when turning right. Oh and noise is right side only.
