Symptoms:
- knocking/creaking noise from front end when turning while braking at low speeds (e.g. parking lots)
- clicking/creaking noise from front end left side when going over bumps (especially speed bumps when suspension is compressed and then uncompresses)
Treatment completed by dealer:
- torqued down subframe bolts
- replaced front upper and lower control arms on both sides
- replaced sway bar links
- replaced tie rods
Unfortunately, none of the dealer's actions seems to have solved the problem. Any insight on what might be wrong? Thanks a bunch in advance.

Initially the car doesnt do it but after the suspension has been bounced a bit when I come to a stop there is an odd creaking noise coming from the front left side...I dont get any noises on turns though just deceleration.
But Im clueless as well as you have basically had just about everything replaced...maybe new shocks/springs?
