Default Car "creaks" at times

I have an 05 S and I notice that it will creak from time to time when getting in it.

Anyone else experience this? What is the cause and is it easily fixable?

Mm hmm. Mostly noticeable when transitioning to/from an incline at an angle. I don't worry about it.

I just wonder if it is an indication of a problem with the suspension where the great cornering characteristics of the S might be comprimised

I'm having the same problem as the OP. I've already greased the swaybar bushings but the links appear like they were never designed to be serviced. The ball joints in my links are pretty stiff so I pulled one of the rubber boots back to pack it with grease and holy crap was it a PITA to get that boot back on. It felt a lot smoother though, I just need to find a way to easily do it.

I hear creaking coming from my top support when I go up driveways at an angle.

Any other thoughts? The S goes to the dealer tomorrow to get a wheel bearing replaced.

You have so much done to the car. Best just get under and spray your bushings.
