I keep hearing creaking/clunking noise from front of car. Mechanic said it was a bushing in control arms and needed to be lubricated/replaced. This is a common problem with this generation of this model as well as the Santa Fe,and Veracruz which use a similiar suspension system. I have been told many things cause this, from Control arms, ball joints, inner control arms, and even Macpherson struts! I have replaced all of these, and still have noises.
