creaking noise?

:
1999 mazda protege lx
so i just got new struts and springs(kyb gr2 struts & eibach springs) before i did the struts and springs there was this creaking soud when you stopped, accerated, and sometimes when you go over really bumpy crap. now after i had this done it seemed to be gone just tonight i noticed it was doing it again. any ideas about what this is? it annoys the hell out of me.
 
well i got the grease and was going to grease the bushings and the stupid nut on it is like rusted on. so i tried wd-40 and it didn't seem to do much after letting it set for a couple of minutes. i figure i may try an impact wrench when i go to my dads. don't know. any suggestions?
 
i heard from someone though that they don't need greasing and if you do grease that area it will just eat away at the bushings?
 
Wd-40 it some more (or get some PB Blaster.. which is a whole lot stronger)..
and let it set for an hour or so.
It can't be that bad.

Petroleum distillates will affect different plastics in different ways.
The grease won't eat the bushings... I've never had any issues greasing mine for over 2 years.

Well then live with the noise. The suggestion is good, grease it...
