My sons Duster was creaking also. I tightened the upper control arm bolts a bit more and it seemed to help. Have someone bounce up and down on the fender while your under the car putting your hand on moving parts feeling for it. That's what led me to the uppers.
 
Mine did that. My new ball joints needed to be greased, cleared it right up.
 
Beautiful car, Yea grease the ball joints. I have found if you have someone push the car up and down you can put your hand on each ball joint and feel the one binding up.
 
Were the lower control arms pivot bolt nuts and upper A-arms cam nuts torqued with the suspension under load?
just a thought....

the lower weer torqued under load,the upper weer tighten under load but not torqued i have yet made it to the alienated shop but are snug for sure.
 
1) don't push down on the fender. 2) When yall are ridin around, just talk louder.
 
Thank for the help boys,just greased the ball joints more and tighten the upper arms and bounce the front up and down gone,road test will tell more, but its raining now.May 24 for ya.
 
Ok up date,after greasing up it went away for a little.However it is the UCR BUSHING,when wrencking on it i could here the noise in the first place they are new Moog.I tighten them as much as i can with a wrench,much better now can only here it barely.How does the alignment shop get a torque wrench in there with the tire in the way?
