What kind of noise does bad sway bar links make?
i'm getting a creaking noise that i've been trying to track down. i've replaced the sway bar bushings and had the brakes cleaned but the sound is still there.
interestingly, the sound goes away as the weather gets colder.
just wondering, could it be my sway bar links? does anyone know what kind of noise results from bad links?

it's an 07 sport model sedan, everything's stock. not sure if poly bushings are used anywhere in a stock setup.

You need to get your car on a rack and look for worn/loose suspension parts! The only time endlinks make any noise is when they're loose and it's super unusual to find a OE swaybar endlink loose. While I'm doing an oil change on my friends rack those are the things I check when I'm not cleaning...Gary

what about bad control arm bushings, would that produce a creaking sound?
could it be a bad weld or sub frame bushing?
funny thing is the noise goes away when it's really cold outside.

My last post for this thread!
i don't know if it's the end links, it's just a guess. but my noise is a creaking sound so i guess it's probably not the links.

I've had to replace my end links before because they were making noise. They have sealed bushings so it is hard to tell visually if they are failing.
In my case, it sounded like intake or exhaust tubing was hitting the frame of the car somewhere every time I went over a bump. I carefully traced all intake and exhaust tubing and couldn't find it. Finally someone told me they had a similar problem and it turned out to be their end links. Turned out my noise problem was the same.
Parts counter guys said he sells a lot of them to owners with lowered cars.
