I've had the same junk happening to mine for months now. I can't figure it out and I've had the suspension apart multiple times.

i know why my car does that sometime....

The bushing on the LCA that connects to the subframe rotated a bit and the bolt that goes through it actually pinches it. These bushings are the ones with the metal sleeves inside it. Makes a creaking noise evertime i get in becaues i had the LCA too low when i tightened it.
