Default My front suspension makes a creak/groan when moving - is it the swaybar bushings?

I can reproduce the sound by pushing up an down on the front quarter panels and rocking the car - there is a creaking noise coming from what sounds like the area near the DTS. Is this a swaybar bushing?

I searched the archives and think this could be it - if so, is white lithium grease the best thing to use to lube it?

Thanks!

Default I have the creak in the rear after installing new springs and sway bar, so annoying.

I don't know which is causing it. It makes noise when I push down on the trunk but I can't tell where its coming from.
