Help: Creaking noise around front right wheel.

[maniac_2oo4]

Hi,

My 03 P5 started making some noise today..

Whenever I turn right and there's a hole or a little bump, I hear a distinct creaking noise coming from the front right side. It also does it sometimes when I drive straight but only when I go over a little bump/hit a tiny hole etc.
If I go really really slow it creaks slower, etc.

What can be the reason for this, how can I test it to know what it is, and what possible repair costs would I be looking at? I don't know anything about mechanics so I wouldn't be able to do the work myself..

I'm worried :( my baby's never had a problem.

Thank you

suspension bushings

Thanks, you were right.

They weren't cracked though, just needed some lube. Salt and sand and other winter junk got in there and they started creaking.

Problem solved :)

possibly a dumb question, but how often should the bushings be lubricated?
