Creaking noises coming from ft. left...

pretty much under your left foot. A friend told me there's a TSB on the body mounts but i haven't found anything. Has anyone else ran into this problem.
It definitely feels like a body mount, it creaks a lot when doing slow turns and now starting to creak on acceleration.

Mine too, but it's under both the driver and front passenger foot. There seems to be body mounts located in that spot, but they don't have a nut or bolt, it looks like a push in type of rivet. What's a TSB?

I'm pretty slow this week at work. I might just order the two fronts, install them and see if the creaking goes away. I'll try to take a few photos.

If I am sitting in the third row, is it still under my left foot?

My 2002 started doing the same creak and clunk a few months back. Turned out to be the sway bar bushings. Swapped them out with polybushings from energy suspension. Cost about $20.00 at autozone. No more creaks or clunk.
Just thought this might help.

sway end links or ball joints... either are relatively easy to diagnose if you have a repeatable noise...
