Hello after a harsh winter my 2005 V50 wagon began squeeking and creeking over low speed bumps and when turining at low speeds. When I push down on the right front fender I can replicate the sound. I appears the noise is coming from just behind the right rear wheel, Strut possibly but I can not pinpoint it. I am more familar with 850's and V70's and help would be greatly appreciated

Sounds a lot like strut spring bushings getting old and worn. Try turning the top large nut for the strut clockwise. If it is hard to turn and tries to spring back, then it is in good shape, other wise it is time to replace the mount.

The other thing to check is the end links for play. Even slight movement requires replacement.
