1st off welcome to the forum :seeya
Its probably your anti-sway bar bushings and or end links (if they are the original plastic links).I believe the front bushing are not supposed to be lubed so replace them, and lube the rears.

I've been noticing a similar creaking for a while too. Sounds like its time to upgrade to a Hotchkis or something like that at the same time !

Hey no need to go squirrel hunting with a howitzer, take care of the swaybar bushings first.

Re: Suspension creaking (bakerwt)
Anti-roll bar bushing noise, usually the front ones. Remove clamps, apply a little lube and reinstall. Not uncommon.
BTW, new front (and rear) bushings come prelubed from the factory. Those that said something about the front bar "not supposed to be lubed" mis-speaketh. HTH
