Front End creaking 700 1987

Hi, I have a 745T with 378K rebuilt engine, new turbo etc... in Canada. No rust, great car. Front end has begun creaking afer about half an hour drive. Had a new steering rack installed 80K ago and upper ball joints about 6K ago.

Any ideas what this might be please. And thanks...

I had the same creaking sound. Turned out to be the shock absorbers. You can actually hear the sound if you rock the front end and listen to the absorbers.

Thanks. I did this and I could hear the creaking. Time for new shocks!

Maybe upper strut cushions. Inspect all bushings.
