I believe it's the front suspension (stock) thats making a 'creaking' sound...Is this normal?

You can hear it if you turn the radio off and you can feel it under your feet...when the car bounces at all.
 






Astrochimp,
It could be a number of things...

I would 1st check your radius arm bushings. They seem to be the most common point of failure in the front. Any pressure forward or backward goes right to this point.

He's got a '98 - no radius arms.
 






Oops!

Should've noticed that small little detail - my bad...
