Probably a dumb question, but I haven't seen any shocks/struts threads in a while and since everyone in engaged with different options I thought this may be a good time to drop this.

I've noticed occasionally when making a banked turn or getting out of the vehicle there is a creaking sound, 2% of the time. I had mentioned it to a few people and they say struts or bushings. Weighing 180, I wouldn't think that me getting out of the vehicle would cause much of a difference. Could this be shock and strut related? If so... do you guys recommend buying OEM or just biting the bullet and getting something more performance oriented that would last a little longer. To the best of my knowledge the suspension is untouched from the factory with 254k Miles on the vehicle.
