"HELP" Possible cause of a front end creak?

[houstonhomer]

pulling into driveway, braking while moving foreward or backward, and also when selecting drive or reverse, my sy is making a god awful deep creak. It wont make any noise when I push down on the front end or wiggle any chassis components. Please, any ideas?

torsion bar mounts would be my guess

check the body mounts under the doors, sometime they crack and make a creeking sound when they move.

ball joints

I have the same problem. It is *especially* bad when I slowly go over a speed bump with the front tires. The ball joints are fresh since I did the CBR brake kit but it makes the same noise. I don't have any "clunks".

Any suggestions? Could it still be my torsion bar mounts?
