Creaking noise from suspension?

Need some opinions.....I'm running on Tokicos and Maxspeeds(for close to a year) and just recently I've developed a creaking noise coming from the suspension when cornering. It doesn't occur all the time but enough to concern me.

I'm wondering if its from the spring not being properly seated or the rubber sleeve on the spring not on properly or something with the steering rack. The car still handles fine, just that occasional noise.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

It's a rubbing issue. The rubber may have come loose. It's come loose again on my passenger rear spring and needs to be adjusted. If I hit a bump it squeaks.

I have noticed suspension noise since I dropped with Illuminas and H-Techs. It does suck. Alot more creaking. I have read many people experience this. Perhaps just a nasty sideffect of suspension modding.

Mine does this stock especially when cold out.

I also get rubbing on the splash guard on the passenger side when turning left hard/fast.
