In the last few days the front O/S suspension has become pretty creaky - without an inspection, what's the most likely cause? Spring? Shock? Bushes?

My guess would be an ARB bush.

ARB droplinks and bushes are pretty easy to get to. Remember when working on arbs thst you must have both wheels equally loaded/unloaded otherwise the tension on the arb means you'll never get the bolts out, or if you do you'll get a fat lip!

To confirm just give them a spray of 3-in-one where the ARB runs through the bushes. If the creak goes away you know it's them.
