I've got the same thing on my 2000 QC 4x4.

Just read Bernd's post about squeaking / creaking when checking the ball
joints. I just rotated the tires and when checking the tires would not
budge when I was trying to wiggle from the top and bottom . So its either
normal spring / torsion noise, or an early sign that there will be new
ball joints in my future.
