I had a creaking noise which had a sound like rubber bushings squeaking. It wouldn't happen all the time but sounded when especially when I turned my wheel left to right.

I replaced all my front control arms, bushings and sway-bar links... still creaked.

I finally found the problem and it turned out to be the upper strut mount. You couldn't see anything from the inspection hole on the front fender but once the strut was removed and torn apart you could see a slight crack on the bottom side.

It's probably a 2-banana garage effort to remove the strut, compress the spring with an Autozone loaner tool.

Everything's been good since it was replaced.
