Default Creaking in front drivers side

Hello everyone! I have a 2000 jaguar s type 3.0. I had recently had every suspension bit of the car replaced. A month and a half ago, I had stopped very abruptly, and now after driving the car for around half an hour. I hear a creaking sound coming from the front drivers side of the car. It had stumped me because I have checked everything and nothing seems loose or broken. It only does this when I have been driving for a while.

Sounds like something got a slight adjustment on the hard braking...did you have the anti sway bar bushings replaced also...sometimes they need a little graphite lube after a while

If you can bump the car up/down and make the noise.. tape a hose next to a bushing and plumb the other end to your ear. That can help you narrow down the source/s.

Most likely the noise is coming from the upper control arm as some aftermarket units seem to have this fault after a few months.

Hey guys! So thanks for the help! It actually was the sway bar bushings that were causing the noise and I had just replaced them! Now a new issue. On some harder bumps, not all of them, there is a slight chirp that can be heard from the front drivers side. I have also replaced the upper control arm and everything still is nice and tight
