I've begun hearing a bit of groaning metal noise coming from the passenger side suspension. It only happens when you're going up a fairly steep entrance ramp (garage, driveway, etc), so it seems to be occurring when the suspension is compressing at an odd angle and slow speed.

You never hear it when driving, turning, hitting bumps, etc. So I'm thinking perhaps it's the strut or spring?
