Possible suspension problem?

[Wydz]

Hey y’all I got a 2014 LT that’s about to hit 89K and I have a really weird issue.

At low speeds (~10mph or so) every time I turn my wheel to the right and sometimes when I just let off the gas and roll my front end creaks really loud on the right side if I’m hearing it right.

Could this be a suspension of steering issue? It’s only low speeds and only when turning my steering wheel to the right, at least from what I can hear.

thanks!

I have a 2015 with 97K and also have noticed what I presume is the same issue! At low speeds, especially when getting off and sometimes on the gas there is a series of creaking/clunking noises! I jacked up the car and looked at the wheels on both sides and confirmed that hubs and bearings were all good (shaking the wheel side to side and up and down checking for play, there wasn't any). CV boot was intact and nothing else stuck out to me.

I did have to replaced the sway bar links twice because they had worn out, I think its possible this may have to do with it? I also think it's possible that there might be play in the CV joint, perhaps the axel is sliding in and out a bit. I intend to have a mechanic look at it this week to see if he/she can figure it out and will update this post when I get something definitive. Did you have any luck?

Hey Wydz,
So I got mine checked out and even though I couldn't tell myself I ended up with a bad ball joint. No idea if that helps your situation at all but that's what it ended up being for me. Goodluck!

Try replacing your lower control arms/ball joints. Both sides if possible. Also, if you have the original plastic stabilizer bar links, I'd replace them as well. With metal ones preferably. While you have the front end tore apart remember to check your tie rod ends and boots too. Along with your brake pads. Pretty sure its your lower ball joints that are bad.
