Strut Issue - PLEASE HELP!
My 335xi front struts make this terrible creaking sound when the weather drops below to 55ºF and gets worse as the temperature drops. I will attach a video to help show the issue I am having, please help!!
* I replaced the struts/bushings a year ago, and the old struts/bushings made the noise too. CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO!

Check the xi and suspension section in the thread. But i believe it's something needed to be greased

Saturate the bushings with wd40. It may take a day or two to work. It's worth a try.

Do you have an XI? Mine seems to be coming from the front strut bushings rotating against the metal top of the strut tower. Not sure if greasing it up would help, I would think the bushing would just push the grease out. I have no idea what to do
