Front End Creaking Like An Old Door

[SW SHO]

When turning(especially right) up an incline, like a driveway or business, the front end creaks.

Confirm this is the sub frame?
Will Sub Frame Connectors solve this, or is it the struts (which need replacing badly)?

I had a similar noise from my 95', turned out to be the sway bar bushing.

i also have the same problem, i am doing some research currently and hope to fix this problem!

It could also be strut mount bearings. I've got the same sound coming from the front end of my SHO and a friend who is a mechanic said it is probably that. Don't know yet though because I haven't gotten all the parts together to get it all replaced.

I put my money on the outer tie rod end(s). Remove the wheel and tire and try to rotate the tie rod end with you hand or a wrench. If it squeaks, you found your old door.

I second this, try turning your wheel full lock (either way) and grab the outer tie rod and twist it.

Thanks for the tips guys. Saddly, my SHO probably needs every suspension part updated.

It is good to know what to replace though. Thanks!

It happened to me for a few minutes after installing new strut stabilizers.

If it is the OEM tie rod ends, you don't necessarily have to replace them to stop the squeak. I used a small hypo needle and wheel bearing grease to inject the rubber boot full of fresh grease on one SHO with really squeaky rod ends. They loosesned up and got very quiet again. He won't need new tie rod ends (or even a re-greasing) fr quite a while.
