Angry Creaking passenger side wheel??? suspension? control arms?i

i have a gs 400 and have noticed a new sound coming from the passanger side wheel well . makes a creaking noise almost, when pressure is applied to that tire. almost sounds like it could be a suspension problem or idk. Any words of advice ....creaks when turning and car leans in that direction.

Trailing arm bushing is probably shot, also shoot some grease into the lca bushing and see if it disappears...

Mine just started that today, I have new lower joints, so my guess is my uppers are dry.

Warning, creaking lower ball joints leads to broken ball joint and often a destroyed fender. Replace IMMEDIATELY.

I got a needle grease fitting and fill them up again. Works good.
