Might be right. Ebay ones are $60 each.

Any ideas?
May be your sway bar end links. Mine creaked when they started to go bad.

Did you happen to check the old one to see if there was excessive play or if it was moving around much easier than it should? And can you measure the OD of the part that gets installed into the suspension? That way we can see if the Z32 300zx ones will fit also. They certainly look similar. Great work!
