Hi, I also had a strange creaking coming from my front suspension. I inspected it and I found a broken coil spring on the passenger side. The ride height wasn't really effected as far as I could tell but the spring was broken near the bottom. It's probably a long shot but check it to be sure. Diesel Performance Round Rock
