So it just started 2nite and everytime i hit a bump it sounds like a creak or a spring noise comin from the right front tire...anyone else have this problem....I have maybe 6800 miles on it..

any mods?

Did you check the springs to make sure the dealer removed the spring cushions?

no mods to the suspension and i never heard the noise before so wouldnt the cushions of made never the first time i drove it...

Could be bushings?

ok i found the problem..i had 2 golf ball size acorns jammed in the coil spring on the right front....damn squirrells

lol nice, getting ready for winter! lol

REALLY? Interesting. i was just about to start a thread about this too. I got the same problem. I gotta check for acorns after work. But for my case i did notice that the creaking started in the morning pre-warm up and after 3 or 4 miles it'll go away. was this the case for you too?

I get this also from time to time, (no squirrels here). I have read elsewhere that some have had this sound coming from their brakes, but mine does not do it on braking.

Oh that's classic.

quick question to you, did you change your brake pad recently? Does the nosie come from the rear?

the car has less than 6k miles, only did oil change, fuel return pipe recall and air bag sensor recall. never done brake pads. the sound comes from the front for sure. it happens when the front right wheel hit a bump or sometimes when i make left turn. its really annoying, im gonna do my second oil change this weekend and let them check!

as far as i know 2 possiblities. Something similar happened to me.

a) check for debris, i.e. pebbles, acorns stuck in the suspension spring.
b) did your dealer sell you the car with out taking out the spring stiffer thing ( i forgot whats its called its supposed to be these rubbler pads that fit in your springs that help prevent damage while being transported.) its supposed to be taken out when preped for pickup. Mine weren't. The guys at another dealer took em out for me when went for some recalls.

oops that was said. my bad.

That's hilarious. Acorns...LOL. At least you weren't getting squirrels squeaking away in your engine.

thanks a lot for the inputs, if there really debris stuck in the spring, how do i check and how can i fix it??
for the rubber thing you talked about i really have no idea what i can do.... bring the car back to dealer? if they made mistake like this that really piss me off....

same problem here.. im thinking about lift my car up and check out the suspension area. sometimes i hear it from the rear also.

damn crafty squirrels at work again sabotaging your suspension when you are not looking.

did u bring the car to dealer?

I wasnt able to find anything... i'll take the car to a dealer when i go get my oil change. it sucks, i only hear it when i drive slow and going over a some bumps..

thats exactly what happen to my car, the car right now already in dealer, i brought the car there this morning and they didnt give me a call so i guess i will call them tomorrow and see what happen. i will update here and let u know.

finally, the mitsubishi factory representative came today and they checked again for the noise. here is what they have on the paper work:

noise concerns
check for noise in susp mitsu rep will drive and inspect veh
road tested by mit service rep on 1/26/10
road tested with mit factory rep and was able to duplicate a body noise while twisting the body
this is a normal evo rally suspension noise due to the firmness in the suspension/no repairs required/vehicle operates as other like evos

and thats what i was told, they said it was body noise, no need to repair...
i dont even kno wut to do now....
