Cause of creak when going over bump coming from front passenger side suspension
What is your question?
When I drive my 2017 Hyundai Sonata hybrid (59,986 miles) over a speed bumps I hear a creak coming from the passenger side front suspension. It creaks on the way and then back down when going over the speed bump. I had the control arms replaced and the axel tightened to factory standards but the creak persisted. I’m wondering now if the strut isn’t properly lubricated? Do you have any ideas?
What makes this problem better or worse?

Hello, it could be some chafing of the coil spring outside of its insulator in the strut housing - as this is definitely a moving part making noise. I'd say it's less likely something internal to the strut cylinder, as this is filled with oil and gas which would seemingly insulate any internal noises.
It could be that it is more annoying than it is a true problem - but I can understand wanting to resolve it. Using some kind of spray oil or grease could be helpful to penetrate hard to find areas - and may result in solving the noise.
