Question Suspension creaking noise when turning (Bushings?)

2009 Ralliart 50K miles....been having this problem since ~35,000 miles....I live in the NorthEast so Im thinking the salt destroyed my bushings....I did a search and surprised that only a couple of you have brought up the issue....anyone knows which bushings I need to replace? Im doing my oil change next week so I'll look around to see if I can find anything....and btw I get the creaking noise when I turn at low speed (i.e. moving outta a parking spot) and when I go over speed bumps....I hear the same noise from the rear also....any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Are you having this problem with the stock suspension or have you changed anything?

OE suspension will get like that over time. Suspension will be louder in cold or cool weather. But do you notice it goes away after long drives in the city.

I finally got rid of my OE at 115,000km (71457 miles) lol my coilovers are quieter in the winter than my OE was.

The one bit of advise I can give if you suspect bushings. See if lubrication helps.
