Default Creaking Noise after Accident

Ok so i got into a accident about a year ago and just about the entire front passenger side suspension had to be replaced. Ever since, i have had a creaking noise coming fromt that suspension.

A friend of mine helped me check out the spring (TRD) and it was mounted properly. It isn't a constant creak but its audible over bumps and especially if im going up a curved driveway or something. Anybody know what it might be? Thanks for the help.

my car was popped up on both front sides within the first yr of owning it... ppl cant drive round here.. sadly enough no car will every be 100% correct if it requires replacement of suspension and panels and stuff of that nature... it just doesnt all fit together 100% right anymore and it will creak and pop.... dont know if anything can be done if that is indeed your issue.

you probably need the suspension parts re-lubricated. I think tc4italy had a similar issue...

It's more like a clunking sound right? Cause there's a guy in my club that had this clunking noise in the suspension. Almost every time you turn the wheel, there is this clunking sound. He said he just re tighten the endlinks of the front sway and relubed the endlinks also.
