change what part of the suspension before this?
sure 11 years, but have you done any diagnostic?
how do you know is the lower arm making noise?

The car age 11 year old. Ya, the sound is from front, when crossing the bump and also uneven bump.
The steering inclined to one side that time due to broken suspension bush.
I tot i have changed whole set front suspension for the 1st time. The mechanic dint changed the lower arm previously.
Brake caliper? No la, i just done the inspection and testing when i changed the brake oil myself recently.

I suggest you bring your car to a workshop with a suspension tester.

Just like your case, I changed the whole front suspension but the creaking sound is still there. Yet to fix it.

Where to find those noise check mechanic?

I know Scrut Auto in jln ampang got the machine.

Don't go for fake oem lower arm , most cheapo lower arm the camber is horrible either too much negative or too positive position, unless is adjustable by default , so you need to know what you buying, as usual cheap things no good, good thing not cheap

If you want diy sure and you can, if you have no dea how tight should be/bolt one time use or not all this can be found on workshop manual, don't do things agak2 if this is your first time everything have their own proper way to do it , oh ya cordless impact wrench mostly the battery expensive than the machine

Basically for diy you still need many proper tools which also ain't cheap at all at the end so, is really depends your hobby

basic tools is needed or don't need at all depends your experience

I take 1 or 2 photo for Example
tighten with impact air/electric wrench then remaining tighten with torque wrench , most have 2 set impact wrench as u can see max 350 torque if i set level 2 should be around 200 ish torque then the remaining torque using torque wrench to finish the job if i need greater torque for loosening larger bolt i will use the other set impact wrench greater then 560 torque , but bkful not all bolt and nut can handle higher torque some bolt will just snap then lagi susah if stuck inside need to use extractors

Then torque wrench also most have 3 set, since mid range torque wrench the higher the number the harder to adjust because the loaded spring getting tighter for me i will just get larger number torque wrench much easier to adjust this 3 set alone also ain't cheap already i mean already cost you few K if kira with cordless impact wrench etc

Then breaker bar useful for stubborn bolt but also need to use it properly if not breaker bar break liao the bolt also not loosen up, breaker bar usually come with few size 18 , 24 then 30 inch, or you can use L bar with steel pipe will do the job too if you know what u doing

Then low profile car jack then jack stand then impact socket for impact purpose etc all this cost money
Glhf if u want diy , unless you really like it then is well spends for all this tool
