My Ex is making a creaking noise from the front passenger sidewhen it goes up and down - I think it probably is time for bushings in the front springs - but wondering is there anything that can be greased etc... ?

 

Mine also but couldn't locate it. There's also a squeak in the rear.

 

It's probably the ball joints. If they're original, they're not greasable. Could also be the sway bar bushings - try shooting some silicone or WD-40 between the bar and the rubber bushing.

 

mine creaks from the front pass area also.. wierd...

 

Mine too has a creaking in the rear.Keep us informed

 

Update -- I figured I'd at least try spraying the passenger side leaf spring shackle and hanger bushings with a quick shot of Silicone Spray Lube and give it a shot. It's now been about 100 miles of city and hwy driving and the creaking seems to have gone away completely... We'll wait and see now for how long. Probably would be best to just change out the bushings - but for now if this works...

 

I was gonna suggest going for the leaf spring eyes as well, I'd even give some white lithium grease in a spray can a shot. I think either would work, but my first choice would be teh silicone as it would probably resist washing away better. The noise will liekly return after a while, and a new bushing is probably in order, you can get em replaced fairly cheap if you go to a spring shop usually.
