Default Creaking sound at slow speeds

Searched the archive to no avail, but I just got my car back, after a month, for a torque converter replacement and the car is now making a clicking/creaking sound at low speeds. It seems to happen when the car's nose dives a bit when coming to a complete stop and then I hear/feel it again when I accelerate and the nose lifts up a bit. I can feel/hear the "creaking" sound under my left foot well and I almost want to say it feels like it could be soomething not tightened down all the way moving up and down a little bit during the transition form stop to go. Sound like a suspension problem? Something to do with the torque converter not being worn in? Dealership is closed on the weekdays and I will of course bring it back on monday just wanted some input so I can give the clueless dealership some areas to check. TIA

Default Re: sounds like a control arm bushing

Would the control arm bushing be affected at all by the labor intensive(22.5 hours) of a torque converter install? Just asking becuase it absolutley did not occur when I dropped the car off at the dealership last month now all the sudden it happens after they play with it for a month.

can you replace those or do you need an entire new control arm?
