Is it just me or.........(Creek Creek)

I have a 2004 6MT Coupe. And I have this damn creek that I can't figure out where it's coming from. Every time I drive forward I hear a light creek coming from under the car somewhere. I don't know if it's suspension or what but it only does it on take off. Anyone else heard this or no anything?

I definitely don't get that noise. Your car seems like it's highly modified though... so it could have something to do with one of your mods.

Did you do anything suspension-related for mods?

Check all your lower connections. Control arms, A- arm, sway bars, lower strut mount, upper strut mounts, etc.. See if any of those connections have come loose after you installed your coilovers. Also check all your bushings down there to see if one's pinched or not tightend down hard enough. Also check your actual coilover to make sure the spring is seated in the perch correctly. Especially that rear spring, make sure it is seated in there correctly.

Ya it should be the bushing, check them out. If you have to replace them, make sure you go with poly.

is it from your rear axles? it might be the rear axle click where they need to be re-torqued.
