Front end creak

If I am going really slow and make sharp turns (especially over bumps), my front end seems to creak sometimes. The car still tracks fine, but I seem to feel a bit more vibration when I go over speed bumps through the steering wheel.

Are my control arm bushings bad?

good question... everthing suspension wise on mine is new. And i have a creek from time to time. I think it's the spring grinding on the strut housing.

Could have bad bushings, also check the subframe for damage, contacting the lower control arm.
