Help with Creaking Noise (video inside)

[DavidAshton]

My car is driving me insane, it has developed the most anoying creaking noise ever.

Hopefully you can hear it in this vid, you may have to turn it up quite loud as it seems to have picked up more road noise than anything else, buts it the stupid clicking in the background and its super loud in the car.

Its coming from the front left strut area, i have had the car up in the air and its not the wheel as it spins with no clicking, ive had the whole front end and arch off and its nothing under there. If i bounce the car it does start making the noise after a little while. So im guessing its the front strut / spring.

Current suspension setup is trd shock, unknown lowering springs and cusco adjustable top mounts.

Can anyone confirm before i start piling money into unesacery things?

most probably the top mount if its a pillowball thats old and worn out.
make sure the nut at the top is tight and then try and spray some wd40 in the ball part and see if that improves things.
