I've got creaks, groans and crunches from all 4 corners while turning, braking, accelerating, going over bumps and even getting in and out of the car. Dealer lubricated the control arm bushings per Chevy service bulletin. Did no good and there are no replacement shocks and struts yet. I don't want the same junk that came on the car.

If anyone has a fix, please post it.

From what I have read, it seems to be a bushing noise problem. I am taking my car in tomorrow. I am not optimistic on a real fix, but if anyone has any further input on this, it would be appreciated.

I would try a little grease on the sway bar bushings.

Yep. try spray lubricant. Mine is a contraction, rubbing and expansion issue that's causing the annoying creeking sound.
