Driving in low and high speed (especially at low speed), accelerating and decelerating I can hear creaks on the front driver side area. Creaking gets amplified during traffic jam (repeated stop and go). While parked I pushed down the bonnet to try bouncing both sides. Right side seemed difficult to bounce, yet the left side takes no effort to start and maintain the bouncing rhythm. I can also replicate the creak while bouncing the front left side. Is this a sign of bad suspension or something else? I have an '02 R50 with about 95k miles. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Sounds like a bad strut
