Suspension noise

[SAKJ]

Guys,
In the last few days I have been hearing & feeling a creak from the suspension.
It is intermittent and mostly happens in the early (cold) morning when driving through sharp dips in the road. It definitely sounds like a dry rubber bush. I think it is coming from the rear but not 100% sure as it only happens when hitting sharp bumps so the event is all over very quickly. I reckon it is there as the front wheels hit then definitely louder as the rear wheels bounce out. I can’t get any noise trying to bounce the suspension when stationary.

Any ideas where to start looking?

That front swaybar is really known for it.

If you do think its the rear, I had a creak in there, turned out to be the rear upper control arm balljoint. If you are getting any sysmptoms of rear steering (the car seems to veer left or right when accelerating or backing off the power) it can be the rear lower control arm bushes at the axle, they can and will rip out at the back.

Glend also had a creak coming from the rear, it was the output shaft from the tranfercase, I think he just pulled the boot back and greased it up to solve the noise.

Thanks cmohr,
Fully regreased the slip yoke about three months ago so it shouldn't be that.
Hope it is not the rear balljoint!
Which parts of the front sway bar...the links or the main saddle clamp rubbers? Grease or replace?
