Hey all! I am new of course and here is a little bit about my car, 2004 GT Vert. I put 18x9's on the front with 265/38/18 and 18x10's on the back 305/35/18. I dropped the car 1.5" with Fird C springs from American Muscle.com and changed the rack and pinion bushing to poly but they are not offset,now my question is this, why am I getting a creaking noise when I turn the wheels either way? I got a needle for my grease gun and greased the tie rod and balljoints and it has not helped at all, what am I missing? The car has 50,000 miles on it.

Did you grease your poly bushings before you put them in your steering rack? That could very well be where the noise is coming from

I am clueless, but welcome.

My '99 did the exact same thing. No matter what I lubed, it creaked.
I replaced the lower ball joints and it went away. I have no idea why it wouldn't respond to lubrication, I just know that the new lowers cured it.
Good luck!
