For the past while, I notice creaking sounds going over bumps. I checked control arms, bushings, tie rod, shocks etc, didnt notice anything. The only possible thing left would be the sway bar bushings. How do you get those off? They are really inaccessible? I was trying to grease the insides and couldnt even get a bolt loose. I used a light impact, and a breaker bar on the bottom and nothing. I soaked it with atf, and it still doesnt open. I greased the sides with lithium grease, still not much has changed.

Any advice?

Get someone to rock the car side to side (by pushing on the roof) while you reach under the car to feel for the creaky noise.

I'm hoping i'm wrong but I think the only way to access the bushings is by dropping the sub frame. I don't see a way to access all 4 bolts by leaving the sub frame installed.

How many km's on your car? Check the strut mount and bearings.
