top mount maybe?
Get someone else to turn the wheel while you listen where it is coming from.

Yep. Get some lube up there where the spring meets the mounts and the creaking should disappear. Use some silicone spray or similar and the spring should stop binding and then releasing which is the creaking you can hear

Just make sure you cover your discs and pads with a bag or something similar before you go spraying any lube up in your arches...
iv had my eibachs on since jan. they have started doing the same. rear passanger side for me
I get that kind of noise on the standard suspension. Been told it's suspension bushes and the dealer's told me to "live with it" as they no longer lubricate them since the car's out of warranty.
Annoying, but not a disaster and I'll get round to sorting it in the coming weeks me thinks.

Liberal amounts of silicone spray on anything rubber in the suspension area should these sorts of things out... with a bit of luck
Which dealers that? thats a bit **** to be honest. mine creak every so often and i dont bother (as i have owned and driven cars a lot worse) and when its service by fiat it mysteriously stops.
So do my creaking doors
Yeah, had the creaking doors as well, but that was fixed under warranty and hasn't come back. My dealer is located on Renfrew Road in Paisley (near Glasgow) and I've disliked almost every aspect about that place ever since. Hell, last time I got it serviced, it was raining cats and dogs, so I guess they thought I wouldn't notice the fact the outside was covered in oil smudges, thankfully not on the inside. Didn't bother telling them as I know what they're like
Just going to get servicing done there for the book now and get MOTs done else where as they absolutely robbed me last one.
my fiat dealer hasnt been at all bad, and has helped me out no end, but its quite a way from paisley!
I have a fiat dealer close to me that are proper monkeys when it comes to servicing and parts and also treated me like i couldnt afford the car when i went looking at it, so i go to one in the next town
