Creaking Noise When Turning Wheel and Going Over Bumps

[hidden turtle]

Hello everyone! I get a creaking noise from my suspension when going over bumps and turning my wheel steering. However... this noise only becomes noticeable after about 40-60 minutes of driving. Let the car rest for a while and the noise goes away.

Given that the noise goes away with rest, I'm hoping I can pump whatever it is that's squeaking with fresh grease and call it a day. But I have no idea where to look.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

EDIT - Noise now becomes noticeable after about 10-20 minutes of driving

not sure why it would only start after a long time driving. Could be any of the bushings down there, your struts/shocks, maybe even tie rods since it happens when you turn the wheel. I'd put it on jack stands after a drive and see if you can pinpoint the noise

what car is it/video of the sound would help too

It is probably his cv joints. Anything including turning and suspension play and a clicking or grinding noise will be cv joints.

It probably starts after a little bit because the driving heats up his cv, add heat could prone his joints to friction if they are contaminated. Probably just started too, so it could be on and off with rezzepa or tripod joint grinding a bit against a rock; and then the rock gets flung somewhere else with little contact. So on and off until more debris gets inside.

@hidden turtle it would be awesome if you could film a video to confirm the sound

Will do next time I go for a long drive. I was going to right after washing my car but the noise went away lmao.
