I think it is the bushings on the sway bar that are creaking. Every time I hit a mild bump or a speed bump, the front end creaks so bad. I tried greasing the bushings up front, but to no avail (I used silicone spray).

Any ideas on how to get rid of this?

If you have changed to all poly bushings you are just going to have to live with it. Both my car and a few I have had through the shop that have ply bushings sound like an old log wagon after they have a few k on them.

NO...NO...NO -- you don't...I have had poly bushings for 6 years...when u install them..they have to be fully greased...every 6-8 months i have sprayed silicone on them..and they do not make any noise. PLEASE do not hand out advice that is incorrect...there are lots of people with poly....you think thousands and thousands of cars are driving around squeeking. :jest:
