My '02 Ford Exp Sport creaks at the wheels especially when going over small speed bumps or turning corners. I sprayed behind the wheels with lubricant, & it calmed it down for a couple of days. Is it the brakes? I had them done less than a year ago & drive less than 12,000 per year.

Sounds like it may be a bad rubber insulator bushing somewhere on the suspension or steering system.

Try the lubricant on one of the rubber bushing at a time to see if you can track it down to which one is creaking.
