Creaking noise... Options

[Chhaos]

I had a problem start today and that is when I slow down the front passenger tire area makes a strange creaking noise, almost like someone walking on an old wood floor (like the cliche horror movie sound). It only does it when I am slowing down, and I only notice when my speedometer gets below 15 mph. I checked both wheel this morning for play and both were on solid. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

have you painted your caliper b/c the shims can cause the creaking noise. it happend to me so what i did is i took some siliglide, and lube the area up.

I haven't touched the calipers, at least not any time recently. It's been about 2 or 3 months since I was working on that area last.

when was the last time you had brake work done, such as pads etc..

I honestly haven't had any brake work done since I've had the car. The brakes seemed pretty good and I haven't had a problem with them up until though. I've had the car for about 20k miles.

yea, sometimes the lube get worn away and then it kinda like metal on metal creakin.... at least thats how it was with mine and with a bit of high temp lube the probleme went away.

Alright, well hopefully some time in the next couple days I can get over to a mechanic to see what is wrong for sure. I thought it was something to do with the brakes too because it only happens when I slow down. It's not too bad, just annoying for now. I am still welcome to other input.

tighten all your suspension controll arms rear engine mount, front pretty much check all the rubbers in your front end, tighten and rejuvinate with silicon spray or wd40, it worked for me!!
