Weird creaking when accelerating from the front left spring

When I accelerate I hear a weird creaking noise of one of my sprint springs in the front. Its only when first starting to accelerate not after Ive already started going. Also it sounds sometimes when I hit holes in the road. Could it just be dirt undernieth the spring? It seems more than that. Ill probably just have to take the tires off and check it out, but what else could it be. Input is appreciated.

Mine was doing the same weeks ago and resulted to be the strut bearing, not the spring, I was thinking same as you, but I was wrong ! Strut bearing is very cheap, like $8.00 dlls but you'll need to dissasamble the entire strut, spring and isolators, kind of expensive at the dealer, but you may be can find a cheaper shop. Good Luck !

Dont worry about the cost, me and 96Blumax do all the work ourselves, where is the strut bearing and what does it do? Is it bad if I keep it creaking like that or a little bit.
