2001 Ford Explorer LTD

All,

I have a 01 Expy Limited. It only has 42,400 miles on it and has NEVER been 'offroaded' nor, beat on. My problem is this, every now and again the front end will make a 'creeking' sound, like the front shocks need to be replaced. I recently went up North to our cabin and had to drive down a dirt road (at a snails pace, mind you) and thats when I noticed it the worse. Upon getting back home, now it doesn't do it.....

Anyone heard of this???? Thanks for the advice and help....
