hmm interesting, thanks for all the ideas. I'll have to try a few. What makes you guys think it could be a bad strut?

Has anyone worked on your car lately in the front? I had a creaking noise like that once and it was simply an improperly torqued wheel. I couldn't figure it out to save my life, but that is what it was. But I am on here because I have a similer problem which I am about to post. I have a popping and creaking sound (kind of one and the same) that happens when the car is moving over small imperfections in the road. I have an Eiback Pro Kit spring set, Bilstein Struts, Steeda X2 balljoints, and Maximum Motorsports caster camber plates. At first we thought it was the left strut, which was bad, but it is notthat. It is something else. My driver's side CC Plate had a slight bend and I had that fixed too. But the noise came back within a half hour of me having that and the strut replaced. All the components I listed are new. Any idea? Not to steal this post, but I thought this might be related.

well I just figured out what the problem is folks, i was right its a bad ball joint on that side. So those of you who said you have the same problem I'd have someone take a look at your balljoints. Now its either go and buy some x2's ooor get myself a grease needle and try that out. I'm sooo glad I got it figured out, thanks guys
