Default Accord creaking noise

Hello, my '95 Accord EX (manual) is creaking very heavily over bumps, whenever I turn the steering wheel, speed up or slow down. Took it to a mechanic, and they said it was the outer tie-rod ends and upper control arms, so I replaced them. It is still creaking, and it is getting louder. It also seems to be worse after it rains. ??? any ideas on what this is? Thanks!

My accord had the same problem, it turned out to be the lower ball joint. The bushings can cause squeaks and creaks as well. However, they usually stop when the weather warms up or with rain.

you can try injecting motor oil into the rubber boots with a syringe from the dumpster behind a free clinic.

also, check out your front sway bar at the point where it attaches to the links. could be cracked.

I appreciate the replies, I'm still figuring out how to fix things myself. I also noticed that when I push on the front of the car, it creaks. I just replaced my resonator pipe as well, and when I started the car, noticed that the whole exhaust system lurched pretty good. Would a broken engine mount have anything to do with the lurching exhaust/creaking everything?
