MD creaky, squeaky front suspension.

[AlanM]

As the title says, on speed humps etc there's some serious creaking going on.

Is there a common reason for this? I've jacked the car up and pushed and pulled on the wheels and nothing seems to be loose or worn out, there's no movement there.

But there also doesn't seem to be any grease points.

I'm thinking of basically spraying all the rubber bushes with silicone and see what happens, but that's unlikely to be a long term fix.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Most likely the bushes have started to dry out.
Short term, spray but long term maybe a bush kit to replace the factory ones.
