Any solutions
I've found a lot of discussions on this problem, and a lot of talk regarding the sway bar bushings, but no one has said if this problem is repairable (replace, lube, etc.). Regardless if it not hurting anything, it's just freakin' embarrassing when people look at you traveling down the road like your dragging your gas tank on the road or something. I have yet to call the dealer now that I have some possible reasons for the noise. When I told them about it last winter they were not familiar with the issue. I live in Chicago. Not arctic, but certainly cold much of the year. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.

This may not be of any use or not since I own an MZ3 but in the 36 below degrees we get here the front struts creak on me slightly when I go over speed bumps.
Kinda off topic but you could always check the struts. (dunno)

It should just sound like creaky struts or hard rubber not moving much against metal.
Both sounds of which annoy me.

But it's a dealer...they either make it worse or do nothing at all. My dealer does nothing.
