Well I've replaced the power steering pump and the alternator twice, fortunately the alternator was under warranty. Anyway now I've noticed a creaking noise in the front drivers side. It happens while turning but not every time. I'm thinking it might be bushings but I figure I'd ask the question.

Well it's easy/cheap enough to try and it can't exactly hurt. I'll have to give it a try this weekend. Thanks for the tip!

Creaking at the front can be sway bar bushes too, but usually it's when going over speed humps and goes away as the bushes warm up a bit after 1/2k or so.

Well I'll try the caliper slides and I was also thinking of getting the Daizen bushing kits for $130 I can upgrade the front sway bar bushings and the control arms as well.

you need to get a heat resistant copper grease and don't over tighten the caliper bolts there easy to snap lol
