I have a 2002 VW Jetta TDI w/ manual transmission. When I go over bumps or go around corners, my car creaks/groans. I guess this is suspension damage, but it was recently re-aligned about a month ago and they checked for suspension damage and said they didn't find any. I also had new tires put on recently and they didn't tell me anything was wrong. However, the noises concern me and I don't know what they mean. The car does not pull either direction, it doesn't make any noises that sound like mechanical problems, just the creaks and groans. It doesn't even do it every time, either, just sometimes. Our roads are very bad here. I am having someone look at it next week, but I wonder a few things: 1) Am I making a big deal out of nothing? 2) Could this be a sign of something that is making the car unsafe to drive/ride in? 3) If it is suspension damage, how much should I expect to pay for repairs? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Probably a bushing. Depends which one as to how much. Could be just something just starting to come loose in the body, though.
