Suspension noise.... Is something going bad?

I have an 04' GT1 GP with around 106K on the ODO. I've noticed recently (more so in the cold) that my front drivers side suspension makes noise when I go over speedbumps in my neighborhood.. I hate those speedbumps..... But anyways, the noise seems to be more prevalent when the car is cold and hasn't been driven recently. So... that being said, I can't replicate this when I put the car on jack stands. Nothing seems loose. Is there anything that commonly goes bad in the front suspension? A bushing perhaps? Also, what ALL is greasable in the front end suspension?

Thanks!

Sway bar end link you think? That's not a bad repair and it's something I can do myself, I might look in to some prices on that The suspension ACTS just fine, I'm just worried that the noise will eventually lead to another problem -__-
 
When you say it just happens over bumps, thats what first comes to mind. I see it all the time where its either a sway link or the struts themselves.

04-05 gps have the really long sway bar link unlike the 97-03 and 06-08 cars.
 
You said it makes a noise, but there's lots of noises out there! Is it a pop, creak, squeak, bang? Only over bumps, never low speed turns or anything else?

Have you looked under the car to make sure nothing is broken? Sometimes the sway bar will actually crack.
 


^^^^^ this. check the lower control arm bushings to. mine are bad and my car makes noise anytime i hit a bump
