I have a 2.5 TF shock/spring install and 35s, when moving from a dead stop I get a creaking noise that sounds kinda metallic coming from the front passenger side. It appears to only happen if I give the jeep gas (auto), and only at very low speeds and only when i first give it gas. Any ideas?

Check your upper and lower shocks for tightness. I've had one of my lowers lossen up and made the creeking noise.

 

Sounds like a caliper creak, all of them I've been around do it. Won't hurt a thing.

 

I discovered what it was, it was the skidplate on my rock hard 4x4 rear bumper vibrating with the muffler. The muffler sits lower on the driver side and barely touches the skidplate, but when you give the jeep gas, it vibrates the muffler in turn vibrating off the skidplate... I haven't found a solution yet :(

 

I had a creak in the front passenger A pillar, turned out one of the A pillar bolts on the inside was finger loose. Removed the trim, tightened the bolt, noise went away. Well, one of the creaks at least.

 

This "creak" vibrated my entire jeep and sounded horrible, still does, I'm going to have to figure something out...
