Default Does your suspension make creaking noises?

I never noticed any noises until a month ago, actually just after getting my '00 coupe out of the shop for all new rotors and pads. But I watched them work and nothing they did seemed unusual other than they jacked the car up on one side instead of putting it on a lift.
Since then, I've noticed a lot a "creaking" noises apparently coming from the front suspension. Everything else seems normal. It's now got just under 39K miles. Since I was born when the first Vettes were born, I hope all that creaking sound isn't my own bones!

The sway bar bushings may need lubrication.

Default i had same experiance

i just installed new Z06 sway bars and lubercated them and squeeking is gone now. also the new bushings are lined with felt, so it will retain the white lithium grease longer.

I'm mentally ill when it comes to mechanics. Is it easy for a shop to lubricate them? If new ones are necessary, how expensive a deal is it?
