Default Suspension noise when cold?

When it's cold and i go over bumps my car makes a creaking noise, but soon as it is warm out it goes away. It's a 94 accord ex with 49k- the car was hardly driven till i got it. If anyone has a clue to what it might be that would be great. Thanks for your help.

Sounds like lower ball joints. I see a lot of that around here in the colder months. Another thing you might want to check is the sway bar body bushings. They get dry and then they creak. Those can be pulled out and lubed. But I would check the ball joints first.
