Default Squeaking/creaking coming from front end?
My 05 has some loud squeaking/creaking coming from my front end, it seems to happen even with the smallest changes in the road. Any thoughts on what to check first? To the best of my knowledge the struts have never been replaced but I think the control arm bushings were replaced around 2010 but I can't find the service record.

Check the sway bars first.
