For the record..Torsion bar suspension will creak on turns and heavy loading of the suspension..Just get underneath and squirt some WD40 on all those pivot points and that should quiet them down..

I have the same noise on the front left side when turning. I don't have a Hummer dealer close by to take it to. I have been taking mine to a Chrysler dealer that does Hummer warranty work. I've had it in three times for this noise. They have never found anything or solved the problem. I will spray down my torsion bars with WD-40 and let you all know if it stops the creaking, because it is a REALLY annoying sound. 06 White/ Adventure

I greased the torsion bar where it enters the key, and that did not solve the creaking problem. I bought a can of spray white lithium grease and sprayed down all steering and suspension points in the front end. Presto! Creaking noise is gone. It was such an annoying sound. I live in Arizona and have had my H3 for a year now.I am out in the dirt(sand) quite often and I guess it just took its toll.So for anybody else who has this problem, give the spray grease a shot. I also recommend cleaning and drying the parts before applying the grease.
