Manually push the front end of the car up/down and side to side. If the sound is from your front suspension, you should be able to hear it while doing this as well. I always noticed this sort of thing when going over speed bumps in previous vehicles.
Creaking/groaning when pushing brake pedal - 2014 300 (possible BR9 upgrade wanted now)
My car is making a loud creaking/groaning noise when I press hard on the brake pedal (ie at a stop light etc.) I've tried to narrow it down but can't find out whats casuing it. Any ideas on stuff/how to check? If I kind of 'bounce' the front with the brake pedal I get it pretty loud and its getting annoying, not totally sure if its the brakes or suspension. I did take the front brakes apart and relube everything well to no avail..
Thanks
Thanks

I'll check them too, thanks
I agree, I hate weird noises in my vehicles

It's the front calipers both sides. I dunno why they are creaking so bad I've taken them off 2x now and lubed them up good and nothing seems damaged on them

It's definitely the front calipers, but I can't get it to go away
I've taken apart the front brakes 3x now and pressed the pistons back in and cleaned/lubed everything up very well, cleaned the pins etc, even scuffed surface with sanding discs and rebed the pads, but still this loud creaking groan when pressing the brakes. I might bleed the brakes again tomorrow so there is at least new fluid in there, but I sucked it out and put new stuff in last year :/
The pads have about 2/3 life left, the rotors look ok other then the inside swept area is pitting a bit on the one side due to it not being used much the past couple years (this time I cleaned it off well with a flapdisk.) They are all Mopar parts the dealer put on them a few years back. I have a set of new Raybestos EHT pads I was going to put on but wanted to get new rotors first, maybe I'll have to get them sooner then later, but I think its the calipers that would be doing it alone, no?
Maybe I should start gathering parts for a BR9 police swap?!

Thanks again gapi for the info
Maybe I'll do the fronts for now with the BR9 stuff (they are the ones I'm having issues with caliper,) and do the rears in the fall, as they are fine right now...
