Question about lubricating suspension

I'm experiencing some creaking sounds from the suspension when turning the wheels at rest (but not at speed). I'm thinking it may be the control arms or tie rod ends, but I'd like to try lubricating the suspension first.

Any tips on where to lubricate, and what lubricant to use? Searched the archives but couldn't find anything...

Thanks in advance.

lubricating will get you no where fast. check your bushings and swaybar links. Check your power steering reservoir levels
