The Aveo front end creaking noise isn't a Sway bar bushing noise or a Strut mount or Strut noise, the problem with the Aveo's is the Lower Control Arm Bushings, the bushings on these cars are 1 cheap and 2 if you look under your car the bushings on the control arms are completly exposed to all road debrise such as rain water, road dirt and in the north you have your road salt in the winters, over time the bushings wear out or become so dirty that when you go over bumps and make turns, the control arm moves in an up and down motion and when you factor the dirt build up between the bushing and the control arm it will make such an annoying noise when the control arm moves, the fix for this at least for me is I replaced my 2 lower control arms with new ones, its not a hard job it basically is 3 Bolts, your lower ball joint bolt, and the 2 bolts that fasten the control arm to the sub frame, after replacing the control arms I took it for a ride and the front end was completly silent, however how long it will last before it will start to make noise again, I have no idea, mine has 53,000 miles on it so if i get at least 30,000 miles with it being quiet ill be happy.
