Creaking front end (video)

[WillDiet]

I have a 2015 Silverado Z71 4x4 crew. It has a Moto Fab 1/2" spacer on top of the strut and a 2" lower strut spacer. I get the creaking noise when coming to a stop in slow traffic and accelerating. The suspension moving slightly. I've narrowed it down to the upper part of the spring, but is sounds like something is sticking. Any ideas?http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/58ee63fe7b714/2017-4-11-18-57-33.mp4

have you double checked sway bar links

What's better , a "clunker", or a "creaker"?

Put a wrench on those 3x 17mm strut nuts and check that they are good and tight!

Also spray some lubricant like fluid film at around sway bar bushings, like mentioned above^

 

Good luck

Everything is tight and I've done the lithium grease. I'm fairly certain that the shock and or the spring are bad.

Definitely not sway bar end links, have you tried taking out the entire spring / shock assembly out and compressing it to replicate the sound?

Took the entire assembly out to remove the upper .5" spacer. The creak is less frequent now, but once the suspension is warm the noise is back.
