I am thinking lower control arm bushings. Mine had an annoying creak, until I replaced the control arm bushings, then it went away, I will warn you, it is an easy job to pull the lower CA arms off. But DO NOT do the bushings yourself. Have them pressed in, then install the CA arms yourself.
I have never taken a car to the shop for anything, except tires. I opted to pull the CA arms and rear bushing bracket, and take them to a car machine shop and have the old ones pressed/burnt out, and the guy that did the work said it was a real ass kicker and even he had trouble with them, and he does this kind of thing all day long.
I wish I had done the same with the torque rod bushings. They are extremely difficult to get out, even after I cut a 1/4 inch slot out of them, still had to pound the hell out of them with 3 pound sledge to get old bushings out. I heard a story about a guy that had 20 tons of pressure on them with a press, before they finally popped.
Spray the lower CA arm bushings with a LITTLE wd-40 and see if it goes away. They are dry anyway probably.
