Creeking noise coming from the front suspension arm on my KA?

Could someone please advise what i need to do and what is causing a creeking noise on the front left suspension arm of my Ford KA 1.3 (2001)

I have had it checked and they cannot see any problem with the suspension arm itself, so they thought it could be to do with one of the rubbers ( might be called something else) so some oil was put on and that keeps getting washed off!

Can you advise what could be the problem?

This problems is very commen. You need to replace the Bushes and the Anti Roll bar links. Both sides have to be replaced. It takes about 1 hour to fit these you have to take the wheels off and put a jack under the car or prefeably on a high lift in a garage. They cost me £30 in total for the parts from a local garage not ford! And the problem was sorted straight away. Hope this helps.
