no I havent checked the wheel play. if I get out of the car and push down on the driver side fender I hear the creaking noise as well. would a ****ty balljoint make creaking noises? the roads here are the worst roads you could ever drive on, and my car has been lowered a little for about 25k miles, I dont know man. this is aggrivating just trying to throw **** out there

did you put the rubber insulator in the front springs? when you installed them? if so were they worn out? did you replace them? it could be that.

Sounds like it could be a bad strut.

My '04 did the same thing, and I told the dealer about it when I was getting an oil change. They replaced some bushings in the front end. Check the Recalls and TSB section, I know there is a TSB for the 2004s but Im not sure about the 2003s.
