i now have a creek coming from the front end of my jeep when i go over speed bumps.Is this because it has became cold out and it causes creeking noises? If it is, is there any way to make it go away or do i gotta live with it.

Silicone spray on the front swaybar bushings. They do this when it gets cold (something I don't have to worry about

)

I use the Napa brand.

BTW, the noise is spelled "creak", not creek like a stream of water.... :lol:

I thought this was guna be a thread on something to do with a creek! Anyways...we all get the point.

lol...no biggie. Make sure to use the red "straw" end tip and get crazy in between the bushings and the bar. There should be just enough of a gap that you can squeeze it in there to penetrate the bushings. While I'm down there I usually hit the ends and links too because silicone is a good protectant against water and it works good to repel it when it starts snowing and everything gets wet/dirty. Only issue is it attracts dust and dirt in the summer...but mine only makes noises in the winter when it's cold. It's a KJ thing I guess...

Yep, mine has just started doing this as well. Sounds like a wrenching groaning sound. Gonna give the Silicone spray a shot, but until then, I'm just going to turn up the stereo
