Hi guys. I have a bit of an odd issue. Everytime I apply the brakes at medium to low speed (like when pulling up to a stop light) I get this creaking sound from the front end, sounds like left tire. Kinda like a bed spring creaking noise in a seesaw motion. If I brake hard it isn't audible. This also only happens when I brake, never does it any other time.

I've looked around and people have suggested tie-rod ends or wheel bearings. One person also suggested this could be brake caliper pins.

Anyway it doesn't really seem to be getting worse and I have to leave town next wednesday so I'm hoping I can fix it before I have to leave. I'm going to try getting my tires rotated, though I doubt thats the issue.

Also, anyone have a good recommendation for a lubricant like WD-40? or is WD-40 fine to use?

Do you have a front sway bar? If so, spray some silicone spray into the rubber supports for the bar on both sides. See if that helps. Also spray the rubber at the bolt ends on the cotrol bars.
