Guys, when I go over a speed hump about 5mph I get a creaking noise from my front passenger side suspension. Any ideas???

Creak or knocking noise?

[vauxfan2k]

could be the strut top mountings or excess dirt and stones in the strut cups that the springs sit in. (assuming its coming from the front)

you should hear it outside the car if its suspension related.

Drop link?

I've no idea how good or bad the drop link in the link is ... it was the first one I found on eBay  )

Both my omegas have done this to varying degrees esp in the cold weather. I have put it down to cold oil in the dampers to a certain extent, as my trip too work involves 3 speed humps in the last 1/4 mile of a 20 minute journey. and when its all warmed up on the way in to work it never creeks, but when cold on the way home it creeks according to air temp. On the other hand, once my old omegas wishbones where replaced a major creek disappeared. The bushes where so far gone the wishbone was rubbing on the subframe bracket.

I've also noticed creeks from the front esp on cold weather. I think it's the rubber bushes on the anti-roll-bar/sway bar /what on earth is that bar in english

It is the anti roll bar.

The bushes can be repalced with the rad out and are very cheap.....fit with a smear of grease!

You're right with both, they are both correct . You must know that if we can have more than one word for something in English we do.
