Default Car makes creeking sound

Ok, so recently my car started making a creeking sound, it sounds like a bed that is old with a big black girl and 1 big black guy going at it. It seems to be coming from the struts maybe? I push down on the front fender and it creeks. I can hear it when going over bumps and what not? Could it be the bushings or do you think its time for new front struts?

Get down under the car and listen carefully when someone else pushes and makes it squeak.

It sounds like its coming from the lower end, would it be my struts??? The car has 192k on it and I doubt the struts have been replaced. Kinda sounds like its coming out of the rotor area.

Maybe the springs rubbing on their perches? If so, it would be from the bottom end of the spring

Could also be lower mounting bushings. Anything that moves can squeak, you just have to pinpoint it.
