Creaking from the front end.....

Not one year ago I had the front end of my car rebuilt but the damn started creaking on me. When it's cold out (in the mornings and other times when it's below say 45 degrees), there is a distinct creaking sound when the suspension goes through excessive movements, such as when going through a dip in the road quickly, or when one side of the car undulates and the other doesn't. Sounds like bushings are being pinched or something like that. It's pretty tough to describe and explain strange car sounds with words. Has anyone had an experience remotely similar to this? A year ago I'd automatically assume that it was one of the various bushings, but I just spend over a thousand dollars on new parts and I trust my mechanic.

Could it possibly be something related to the sway bar?

Thanks for you input.

Alex
