[QUOTE="wilamowski3, post: 31923, member: 12343"] I have a 2013 Equinox. I spent a good two months searching for a vibration issue. I creaked before I started work om the other issue and it creaks afterward. I have replaced struts, lower control arms, engine mounts, stabilizer links, half shafts, wheel bearing, brake pads and steering linkage rod ends. It doesn't creak going down the highway. It doesn't creak when jouncing the vehicle. It does creak when I turn the steering wheel both directions, but only when the vehicle is on the ground. It creaks when shifting into reverse or reverse to drive. I have tightened everything I can find - no affect. Because it has to have wheels on the ground it's very difficult to get under it to diagnose. I've thought about steering column, but why would shifting gears affect it? Inspected cradle mounts - no wear, all solid. I've examined the stabilizer bar inner rubber bushings. They look okay, but my vehicle is old and rubber does change with age. [/QUOTE]
