front suspension/steering making an awful creaking noise when turning right or going over bumps, springs not broken and struts ok,have tried lubricating all joints & bushes but cant find where noise is coming from, anybody had similar problems? any advice welcome, thanks.
I used a syringe to put some thin oil in bottom ball joints, stopped it straight away.

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 ?
