Suspension Creaking

A few weeks ago my front suspension has been creaking. It's not constant though, it is usually only when it is very cold right after I start driving the vehicle. When I drive to work I go over speed bumps and it doesn't creak, but when I leave work and go over the bumps it makes a very unsettling creaking sound. Obviously a creaking suspension is bad but I feel like it's doing it simply due to cold weather.

I'm considering replacing the front suspension entirely but I feel if it's creaking because it's cold then it will just keep doing it with the new ones.

Thoughts?

Mine has been creaking lately, but it is almost 10F so that would explain it.
