Default Cold Weather Creaking 1993 LS400

1993 LS 400 95k miles

Creaking noise in cold weather going over bumps-even small ones. sometines front-back or both.

I did a search for old posts but could not find any definitive solutions. Anyone have updated comments ?

Usually sway bar bushings. They dry out and make noise as you describe. Can be lubricated once or twice but it's pretty cheap to replace them.

Does the noise disappear when driving in the rain??
