Creaking from front end
Is there any lube points up front? Over the last 2 weeks or so I have developed a creaking sound when approaching an incline at low speed, like a driveway. Just looking for some ideas on places to start.

Check your sway bar end links. They do go bad. On my second set up front in 11 years.

Ball joints will commonly creak when they are really worn out. Beware, they will NOT get any louder before they fail and separate while you're driving!

Thanks guys. I reached under the car today and grabbed the passenger side end link. Sure enough, when I push or pull on it, I can hear the creaking noise. 2 new moog greaseable ones are one the way.
