Hello everyone. Starting 2 moths ago a weird noise started to annoy me and I can't figure out where it is coming from.

It sounds like a creaking / cracking noise and it appears to be coming from inside the car around the passenger side A pillar or dash area. It is loud and can be clearly heard even with the engine revving. It ONLY happens when I am accelerating, breaking or when I go over some bumps with the right wheel (chassis torquing maybe). My suspicion is there is something loose and it is moving since it is happening when accelerating or breaking.

I initially thought it comes from the glove compartments area, but I have removed everything inside + the covers and the noise is still there. Also with the glove compartments covers removed I had access to all the wires under the glove compartment and made sure nothing is loose. Sadly, I couldn't find the source, the creaking / cracking noise is still there and it is driving me nuts, especially in the city.

Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

 

i have similar noise, i believe its coming from the shock or the spring, where spring touches the rubber. I checked all front end, everything looked solid, sprayed little wd-40 on the spring, i think it got little better.

 

I managed to get everything repaired at the dealership. It turned out to be a pin close to the firewall that was holding and aligning the dash. The small noise apparently came from wear and tear over the years and a small gap appeared. The solution was to wrap the pin in rubber. The noise is now gone and the repair was about $150.
