Default Creaking sound coming from driver side.

Hey there. When I was driving in the morning, there was this creaking noise. But after I drove around for a while, the creaking sound goes away.

I'm thinking the shocks? Is this true?

If theres any suggestion to check, tell me. Thanks!

When I first bought the Integra the other day, there was a creaking sound comming from the passenger side. Turned out that one of the bolts in the engine compartment that holds the spring support was loose.

Does it only squeak when you drop in potholes or going over speed bumps? My shocks always squeak in the winter. My shocks are not bad, they just squeak in the winter when its cold outside. I think stock honda shocks are meant to last the life of the car

Aite so heres the whole situation. In the morning, when its cold or something, the squeaks or creaking occurs. By the time I drive around for like 30min+, the creaking goes away.

I'm thinking the shocks, because when I step on and off the gas, the creaking occurs.
I haven't done any lubing on the car. Yet....

This is actually for another car that is not Honda.
HELP ME!!!

Hey brother,

I doubt it would be the springs as you would have a horrible ride quality if that was the case.
