Default CREAK!

My '89 CRX Si is making these god-awful squeaking/creaking noises when I turn my wheel to the left and/or go over bumps. The noises are coming from the front of my car . My setup is the following:
Front-Skunk2 coilovers/Illuminas/mugen bushings/mugen sway bar.
Rear-Eibach sportlines/ Illuminas/Mugen bushings/Mugen sway bar.

Anybody else have this? Do I just need to grease my components?

i had that noise. it was my coilover rubbing on my spring. just reposition the coilover and problem solved. usually itll come back if you raised your car.

check to see if the brake dust shield is hitting it. That was my problem. Try bending it back with your hand and see if the noise stops.

Hitting anything. try tapping the shield with something metal and see if it makes the same noise that you hear when you turn or go over bumps.
