Anyone have a creaking sound from the front suspension when turning hard at very low speeds? I have to lock it to the right to get down my driveway and I hear it pretty clearly...

Yep. Standard gripe. It's your suspension bushings, and there is nothing you can do about it. You can use silicone, but it's a temp fix - it'll weather off and come back.

It is what it is. I've heard some guys mention options to correct it, but can't cite anything from memory.

I believe they won't do anything about it.

I use the silicone spray a couple of times a year and mine are fine.

+1..its really starting to bug me especially now that its getting colder out the creaking in the front really amplifies. Whats is the compression rod anyway, why replace that if its the bushings? I plan on taking my car in for the creaky windows in the back and will mention the creaking in the front see what they do.

Any news on polyurethane bushings for the G? Last I heard they either don't exist or are impossible to find.
