Only happens when wet. There doesn't seem to be a specific thing that makes the noise. I pull up to a stop sign it creaks. I take a turn it creaks. After a few minutes it seems to go away. Anything to worry about. I'm still under warranty so if it is I would like to take care of it now. Tim 2000 Ford Contour SVT #185 of 2150 Black with Tan leather No mods and none planned

Easy to try though.

Lubricate the sway bar bushings or any other bushings you can find. My car creaks when it is below 50 degrees outside. It is real bad when very cold. Sounds like the bed I had in my dorm room.
