At my 30,000 servicing I complained of a lot of creaking noises coming from front/back especially when going over bumps, or accelerating/turning up/down slight inclines. Dealer "loosened and re-torqued leaf spring mounting bolts". Noise went away. About 7 months later, the noise returned and has worsened (now I am off warranty). Took it to a different dealer, who said that the original dealer should have replaced not just tightened leaf springs due to existing service bulletin. Also, new dealer charged me to test drive/diagnosis my car. Now they say "sway bar bushings" need to be replaced. They have ordered parts, but at my expense. I am only a few weeks off of warranty. . . The noise is much worse, happens front/back, stop/go, up/down-hill, going over bumps.
