suspension creak/groan noise?

Ok - so I get a creaking/groaning noise pretty much at all 4 corners when going over bumps, etc. slowly (so backing out of the driveway, etc.) - I tried reseating the springs but that didn't seem to do anything...

Any ideas? Does something need to be cleaned/lubed?

This is with the stock suspension in an 02 WRX wagon

You are still under warranty -- take it back to the dealer and have them properly torque and lube the suspension. I also had this problem on my 2002 WRX sedan, it was a 15-minute fix. Do it NOW -- if you let it go for too long, you can cause suspension damage, according to the mechanic.

Most likely it's the stab bar bushings.

Stabilizer bar = sway bar = anti-roll bar. Front and rear it sounds like.
