Sway bar? Maybe springs not sitting properly?

what suspension mods do you have, if any? That creak is pretty bad. I'd remove the wheel and start pushing and pulling on things

My guess is a faulty control arm bushing

steeda springs, afe swaybar, fenfab vertical links, steeda diff brace

I took it into the dealer, they said its from the vertical. Which is interesting because the creak started before I put in in the vertical links.

I’d bet that’s one of the spring isolators out of place…likely the top one.

I figured it out. It’s a cracked FenFab vertical link sleeve.

From the Fen Fab website. FenFabrication products carry a 1 year warranty against manufacturing defects to the original purchaser.

I wish there was a better way to install a poly bushing….I’ve had so many sleeves fail in one way or another over the years. The worst was some 4 link bars and the sleeve cut through the bushings…that made for a wonky ass ride.
Anyway…I’m sure Brett will take care of it.
