Default Wierd noise from suspension

Guy's, I've got an 06 WRX and lately I have noticed a noise coming from the front of the car. It's hard to describe but sounds like a sort of creak / metal against metal sound. It usually happens when I am going over a bumpy road, or am in first or second and idling along, and the car jolts a bit. I can't work out what it is... My thoughts are either engine / gearbox mount or the ALK??? Does anyone have any other ideas what it may be and how to fix it?

Cheers,

James

Does your steering wheel vibrate a little ? I have the same model and once I did some mods it jolted a little

Check your swaybar mounts...could have a dry bushing.

steering wheel doesn't vibrate. I've got lovell's lowered springs. I'll check the bushings... I am hoping it will be something simple like that.
