Default Gosh how i love funny noises

Well a few days ago i was going down my driveway and i heard my left side make a creak, just a small one but over the days its grown to a nice sound whenever i go slow and the suspension components move. Ive got new lower ball joints and tie rods and lower control arm and the upper control arm is probably like 1.5 years old. The only parts that are old are the sway bar end links. This little creakster is kind of annoying, do you guys think my 1.5 year old upper control arms went to the sheeter?

I got this creaking sound in the fronts AND the rears. But if I go fast, nothing. But it's ok, I wouldn't worry much since it's safe to drive and doesn't sound that loud.
