Default Creaking sound

Does anyone have a slight creaking sound when pulling away from a stop? My car does and I was wondering if it is normal or what it could be?

It sounds like it is from the front wheel area. I suspect it could be the motor mounts, but i could be wrong. becaue it happens even if I hold the break and accelorator ever so slightly

Could be dry sway bar pickups. get under it with a grease gun or take it to the stealership and whine about it.
Running dry joints accelerates wear so it's worth nipping it in the bud.

Mine creaks from the front end over small depressions in the road. Also, if you just push down on the front end, you can hear it creak. Taking it in soon.

Did you put in a CAI? Mine did this creak and I had to reposition the heat shield box. Sometimes these aftermarkets are not perfect. When the intake sucked in the air at first excel it would shift the box on the fender well. Took me a while to finally find where the noise came from.
