Default Creak when pulling up on driveway.....

Pretty sure it's nothing, but just wanted to be sure everything was fine. I talked to Parker and decided to take pics of the balljoints and see what ya'lls opinion on them were.

Whenever I pull up onto the driveway, I hear a creaking sound. This doesn't usually happen in other bumps, but mostly here. Anyway, here are the pics:





Thanks for any input.

Speaking of caster arm bushings, when I had my alignment done that was one of the things they mentioned that couldn't be adjusted. And it was out of spec too.
