[s-cars] Front Suspension Noise

[jpb3]

Unfortunately I have the same creaking sound from the DS front strut
assembly.  It was present with the Eibach springs that were previously
on the car and now with the GB Euro springs as well.  Of course when I
installed the new springs I freshened up all replaceable bits in there
but the noise remains the same.

Mine creaks when I get out of the car, and when I turn the wheel right
or left.  I have no idea what it is and have pretty much resigned
myself to living with it as I do not plan on going through the strut
assemblies again anytime soon.
