I used a syringe to put some thin oil in bottom ball joints, stopped it straight away.

Put new front sway bushes on. But make sure you put rubber oil on them, or they will creek really bad and its annoying. zook 1

My 2001 Grand vitara is also making these sounds and I have replaced the struts, axel boots, and ball joints/control arm.. and it is still making the sounds.

Has anyone been able to figure out where the creaking sound is coming from ?

my 2007 4 door ddis does the same from the front end, only in the winter though which is strange !! dealer could not help either. Still looking for fix .
