Default front sway bar has plastic sleeves that creak...

ball joints and tie rod ends could also produce a little noise. I fixed the front sway myself, but I need to go in to have one ball joint replaced for sure, probably both sides. I'm just over 42k.

Default I eliminated the creak the sway bar was making going over bumps...

by removing the bushings, breaking off the plastic sleeves and installing the new poly powerflex bushings from ttstuff. I still have a pop that comes from the passenger side and I suspect it is the ball joint. the dealer said the boot was cracked when I was in last. I think the other side and the tie rods might be on the way out as well. I still get a little creak taking off from a stop. I better hurry and get it in, my warranty is up next month.
