Creaking Front End

[AccessMaster]

I have severe creaking from the front suspension. I do not see anything wrong visually. I have lubricated every grease zert I can find. What could be causing the noise?

What chassis do you have? If it's an IFS, could be control arm bushings or, could be ball joints. Give us a little more info.

Solid axle. No IFS. I'm going to try and get mine fixed soon. It's very loud and embarrassing driving through campgrounds. It's a common problem on the Spartan chassis. I called Spartan and was told the spring hanger assemblies need to be replaced.

Mine is IFS. Spartan said to see if it is the A arm bushings spray them with silicon lubricant and see if the noise stops. If so then it will need to be taken to a shop with the ability to tighten the bolts. Lately the creaking has almost stopped completely.
