I have a G35 S A/T (51K) that just had the alternator replaced - After getting the car back, I've noticed the suspension creaking / squeaking. Any ideas on what it could be? It didn't make a sound before it went to the shop... Would being on a lift have anything to do with it?

Edit - also had windshield replaced at same time. But if that was the culprit, wouldn't I hear squeaks around the dash area?

 

You are a smart man... Get it up there and check it out.

 

Think it was the springs settling in after being on the lift.... it gradually went away. Kinda paranoid, 2nd big repair in 3 weeks!

 

I had a similar issue but searched for squeaky suspension when hot and I just replaced the swaybar bushings last night. Hopefully that helps.

 

hey, i have the same problem as you. the creaking/squeaking goes away in the winter and happens only when the weather's warm/hot.

i've tried replacing and lubing the sway bar bushings, but no luck.

let me know if you find a solution, i think we have the same issue.

 

Haven't heard a peep from mine since I replaced them. I also sanded some rough edges off the bar and used silicone grease.
