Creaking noise from front (brakes applied)

Hey everyone,

My girlfriends 09 G5 has been making a noise for a little while now, its starting to get more noticeable now.

Push the brake and as the car slows down you hear a creaking noise. First i thought it was a caliper so i checked and its coming from the passenger side but its not the caliper.

My thoughts are sway bar bushings or sway bar links? But i checked and they do not feel like they have any wiggle or play. Kinda stumped so any ideas?

I'm guessing your pads are fine?

check to make sure pads are free in the bracket and greased and make sure you have grease on the calipers slides

Sounds like the front struts to me. My 2006 LS L61 m/t does the same thing and the first time it did it was still in warranty and it did it again a few years after the replacement and 6 years later they finally leaking so they need to be replaced now. LoL
