Default Suspension area creak!

So everything I was told to change I changed, new strut, car drives great now, new cv axle, new wheel bearing,... I just put the shock on but I still get this creak at a stop and go, not getting it going side to side. WHAT THE HELL CAN IT BE??

New lower ball joint
New front lower control arm bushing
New upper control arm
New strut
New wheel bearing
New axle

Can I just spray the **** out of it with lubricant? So over this, it's embarrassing

It's only when I'm going super slow, I would say one of the bushings but wouldn't it do it all the time and when I hit bumps?

creeks are usually springs, when you say strut has been replaced do you mean just the strut it's self or the whole assembly. And where was the strut from ?

I had the same problem a few months ago when I got tires and the fix was all new rubber pieces, along with rta and struts. I experience the noise on drive ways, bumps and bad roads.

Creaks are usually lower ball joints. Did you change both sides?

Yeah I did both, but if it was that wouldn't it be side to side creak?

Nah, lower ball joints creak up down and side to side. Idk man. It's hard to diagnose a creak we've never heard. You gotta replicate it while looking at it and chase it down.
