Lubing the suspension system

Laubage

So, I keep getting creaking from my Icon Stage 1 setup and from what I can tell, it usually happens when the springs are compressing at slow speeds.

Is there any problem with spraying some WD40 into the shocks/springs/sway bar, to see if the creaking will go away?

Is it the springs or the bushings? if bushing, then WD40 isn't the best choice. some graphene-type lubrication (or better bushings) may be a better solution.
[MENTION=8206]harper7[/MENTION] has recommended a specific brand/type of lubricant that has worked well for him. I can't recall the name now.

Honestly, I don't know where it's coming from. I just know there is creaking mainly when I go over bumps at slow speeds and my car begins to rock. It also happens when I'm backing up out of a parking spot like many people have reported.

I was just gonna go in there and hose the whole suspension housing with WD40, but I didn't want to make any bolts come loose or anything weird like that.
