UPDATE:

Just changed the stabilizer bar bushes at SC and the creaking is gone. It seems this is a common problem for this model City.

I was also STRONGLY ADVISED not to lubricate these bushes or absorber mount and othert parts tht were designed to function dry. It seems they have seen quite a few customers come after using AT205 and other simillar products, where the rubber part degrades terribly after some time and becomes useless. Some others had corrosion and  surface damage on the metal parts and painted surface.

Just be careful and be warned if anyone thinking of trying that stuff out.

did you put lubricants on them without knowing you shouldnt? A price to pay for sure, glad you worked it out

No i did not. I'm just sharing the feedback i got from Honda SC when i told them about the AT205 spray recommended by Scotty. Seems it could be dangerous. Just hope everyone will be careful in trying stuff out, itu je.

Yeah, dry mechanical bushes that dont require any lubricants should just be left alone, they werent designed for lubes anyways

The creaking sound from these dry joints should be immediately checked for any wear and tear, most of the time the sound will go away after a few days, whilst lubrication might reduce or eliminate the sound, but it’ll just make the bushes degrade more over time
