To make a long story short I beleive it was the sway bar bushings. I was trying to move all the suspension parts and as I grabbed the sway bar I heard a groan noise. So I lubed the COMPLETELY dry bushings with some rubber friendly silicone grease, no not KY rubber lube LOL!!! It was the first time I let the car down and did not here a groan. I will take for another ride tomorrow and update.

It appears I had two noise makers the tire touching off on huge dips, and I hope this sway bar bushings. Very very easy to lube couple 1/2" bolts and lube them up. Bewilders me why you pay $60K plus for a car and spf cannot use .05 cents worth of fuking grease, oh I disgress.

Max - So did you lube the bushings in place or remove the bolts and lube them? The noise you're describing sounds very familar. I hadn't driven my car in a couple of weeks and heard some creeks when I hit the first couple of bumps.
