ok guys got a question for you know i consider myself farily well inclind with auto systems but i cant tell what this is. as i drive or if i push on the car it creaks like it sounds like the frame is creaking or getting weak. im not sure what else to look at shocks? or body mount bushings?

Probably the support cushions where the body mounts to the frame. You can get the suspension components lubed up to make sure it isn't a control arm or steering link, and if that doesn't help look at the frame mount cushions. You can push down on the front end if you suspect a shock, it should replicate the noise.

I have 00 s-10 blazer. check ur wheel bearings and ur hub assembly. I had to get new wheel bearings on the driver side and a new hub assembly on the passenger side. The noise totally went away.

Also check out this website: http://www.blazinlow.com
They have alot of helpful people on there.

no its not the wheel bearings or hub cause those cause a growl sound and i had those replaced already about 3 months ago. im almost positive its the body cusions because it doesnt do it when its warm outside. and when its sitting if you push on the body it will do it
