I have a 2007 Suburban LTZ 2wd. Since we got it the right front had been making lots of noise when turning to when going over bumps. It appeared to be coming from the strut because you could shake it and hear the awful noise. It is a loud creaking noise. So I decided to replace the strut. I ordered the monroe conversion kit to convert all 4 from autoride to a passive suspension. I changed out the front two struts and at the same time installed the CCM leveling kit and new wheels and 33" tires.

All appeared good with the creaking for about two days then it came back again, I dont know anything else to change, all bushings look good. I even took it in and they couldnt find anything.

Its now back in full force. Any suggestions?

Second issue is, the kit came with resistors to install at all four corners to trick the autoride sensors so it dont thow any lights since switching to passive suspension. However after driving about 20 miles I get a stabilitrac off, and service traction control. I didnt have the TPMS sensors put in these tires since they were already mounted when I got them, I figured I would do it on down the road. Would that be causing my issue or is there something wrong with one of the resistors they sent me.

Yea It does it when turning the wheel with the suspension moves. I can also duplicate it by standing on running board and shaking the vehicle.

If it's not a ball joint(s), it might be the wheel hub(s). You have to replace the entire hub(s) on these vehicles when they go...not cheap either... I'm really surprised the shop you took it too could not find anything.

I just got mine back from the shop, it was the lower ball joint. Had both replaced with grease able ones and so far so good.
