$30 and a few hours of your time.

 

The strut mount bearing doesn't cause a creaking sound, but more of a poping sound.

Creaking noises come from the sub frame and lower areas of the suspension. In some cases just going over all the sub frame and control arm bolts with a powerfull impact gun will cure them. You can check other areas like the rack and pinion mounts and all your ball joints and even the brake caliper and mounts (if it's happening while your foot is on the brake as well).

 

I sometimes get a creaking coming from my trunk area...but that is only after I installed the Stillen rear strut brace. I always figured it was the body of the car not being able to flex as much.

 

like njmax said...check your rack and pinion
