creaking noise in front suspension

[Steve Lee]

I hear a "little creaking noise" when turning on slightly uneven surfaces at very slow speeds , in parking parking lots, and into my drive way. Would that be caused by the rubber on the ends of the leaf spring under the control arm(s), or are there other causes??

Could be that, or control arm bushings rotting out. You need to get it on a lift to check

I would say spring adjusters worn out, rocks under them, or broken off completely(unfortunately this is usually what I have experienced)

Thank you Rexter!! I'll do that.

Anybody have the spring adjuster part numbers for an '04? And what is the replacement procedure?

Thanks in advance!

575020 from CorvetteCentral.com is only place to get them. About $35each.

The above part number shows the "stock spring adjuster bolt stop pad" as being sold in a set of two. Will I need a set of two for each corner or does a set cover both wheels on the axle?

Also can anyone give me the short version on how to replace the bolts?

Thanks,

John B.

Had it checked out on a lift by my mechanic friend, he found nothing. This post was months ago, and now guess what? That creaking has stopped over 2 months ago?? Crazy!!

Set of 2, one needed for each corner so 2 sets if you want to do both front and rear.

It mysteriously stopped all by itself about 2 months ago!!
