Default creaking noise??

just recently i have been hearing a "creaking" noise from the front end of my car. i think or seems like it is a suspension part or something. my car has about 45, 600 miles on her. just wondered what it might be, is it "hurting" my car, and about how much it cost to fix?

TIA

It's a good idea to look for visable signs of wear on the sway bar end links, but that type of symptom is also common with poly bushings.

I had a creaking coming from the rear. I assumed it was the rear swaybar bushings, so I just unbolted the sway bar and greased the bushings. The creak is gone. Do you hear it when you get in and out of the car? Over speed bumps? If so, sounds exactly what I had.
