it only started once i lowered my car another 3/4" the other day, before that it was fine. this is leading my to think its just the bushings in my control arms, due to them now pointing upwards. any other ideas? ---

Can you give a better description? Like what suspension are you running now? When does it creak? How bad is the creak? My suspension creaks hardcore. I have JIC FLT-A2’s… I’ve narrowed it down to the springs. I either have to get some thrust sheet. Adjust the preload. Or get new springs as a last resort… So give us more details. ---

well i put d2’s on it a while back, and lowered my car. then the other day i decided to lower it a tad more, that was when the creaking started. it creaks when i put the brakes on and when i roll over bumps and such. so anything involving weight transfer of the car. ---
