Thats right, i have a noise when traveling, recently went on a cruise and i suspect something shot it self and i cant figure it out, had a look today and its fine to my eye and still performs the same, the noise is not constant every time i go over a speed hump it creeks from the front end and apparently something is ticking as well at the front end when my friend drove next to me, i couldnt hear the ticking could of been to quite for me to hear, i would like some advice and help, i think it could be the roll bar or suspension, but it handles the same even on humps, all i get is this noise, really frustrating. I would appreciate any help and advice thank you.

has your steering started to feel "heavy", and does not self centre after you turn the wheel?
If yes, the ball joints on the lower control arm are stuffed. You will not feel any play with the wheels on the ground, but may get some vertical movement with the wheel jacked off the ground. Check for a torn boot that has let water/dust into the ball joint.

Okay ill try theese things, but driving it it feels perfetly fine and it is still light on the steering wheel unless i go over 80 its slightly more heavier. Well if i have a look and i do not spot anything ill guess ill get it inspected.

okay i jacked the car up and no wheel wobbles on the front but when i went to dejack it creeked a little, i think its my control arm bushes or something with it, they look fine personally.

okay guys, control arm is fine suspension on my right side creeks a lil now, alot of it has stopped for some reason but the ticking is still around, looked on tread and no rocks from what i saw.
Im going to spray my wheel arches to clean em out of dirt and see that helps, jack up car and spin my front right wheel and see if its clicking during rotation, and if does what would it be?

Orton when I first bought my Soarer a couple years back I had a creeking noise as well when going over speed humps, sounded like it was coming from the front passenger side... but it just went away by itself over time.
