Creaking noise coming from front suspension...

I wouldn't be so paranoid about having problem with a GM vehicle. Things have changed over the years. There was a thread some time back about customer satisfaction ratings. Over all GM vehicles did very well and they ranked very high against all makers. Not trying to bash Toyota since you have one and seem to be a fan but the only GM vehicle that rated poorly is built in a Toyota plant. Toyota makes great vehicles, just not that one. The point is that things have changed and the quality that gave GM a bad name 20 or so years ago is no longer the case overall.
