Front Suspension Creaking Sound

[Redd]

I'm getting a weird light creaking sound from my front suspension, especially during low speed turning (like in a parking lot). I've tested the power steering while parked and it doesn't make any noise.

What could it be? ARB bushes need lube? Or some ball joint going south?

This can come from strut bearing. Especially when turning slow.

Thanks! They stopped making noise today. Seems intermittent for now so I will observe and see if they get worse over time.

Update - After a bit of time, the creaking came back and got worse over time. It was joined by a 'klok' noise from the front end when going over rough roads (but no noise going over speed bumps).

Recently I installed Vorshlag camber plates and the noises went away. So definitely caused by worn front strut top mounts. When I removed the stock top mounts, they looked OK - not cracked, dry or disintegrated. Ironically the camber plates were quieter than worn top mounts and little to no additional NVH.
