I haven't had trouble with any that live with me, but a fellow BaySHO member has a
right side front end link creaking in her '94 ATX when the steering wheel is turned.
 The suspension needs to be torqued a bit, like entering a driveway at an angle, to
put load on the swaybar.  She thought the sound was coming from the strut bearings,
but some exploration while the creaking was occuring determined it was the right
side end link.  It looked fine, and was tightly installed.  There appeared to be no
fix except replacement.  This was the newer design, installed less than 2 years ago,
with a '96 brake upgrade.
