Both of the items are fairly new and OE as I had them replaced a couple of years back. Although under Nollywoods advice I had a quick look at the upper arms as I recall hitting a nasty pot hole a few weeks back and I'm sure the suspension may have taken a turn for the worse - I can see a clear mark in the wheel well just a I've the front upper arm so am guessing the uppers are shot. Btw what kind of car kit are you referring to?

Default Testing upper arms

To test the upper arms undo the pinch bolts and release the ball joints and then just move the arms around...if they are creaking it will be obvious then....
