Default Front end creaks like an old boat?......

Today I noticed on our SS that the front end creaks like an old boat when leaving a light, hitting a dip or coming to a stop....

I did a visual of the front end and didn't see anything noticeable. But it sounds like it could be worn struts? However I only have 26k on the clock.

Has anybody had this problem? Any ideas?

You probably could have found this though searching, but its most likely your swaybar bushings. Mine did the same, after installing a new bar with bushings the noise never came back. Replace your endlinks and see if it works, they are cheap anyway.

Most likely the swaybar bushings. Easy to replace or you could try spraying them with some lube

Just greased mine up for the same issue. Poly bushings tend to be noisy when they are dry. You could also use heavy duty teflon tape (yellow) instead of grease.
