Question Suspension groans while parking

My 90 DX I4 had noisy bushings when I got it however They werent torn or cracked upon inspection. Also when testdriving the car it didnt seen to have this problem but it was a bit warmer then.

I have been spraying the bushings with silicone and now the car is alot quieter. However when I park I get some groans/squeeks from the front of the car as I turn the wheel back and forth while parking.

The car rides great and make little/no noise while driving however. Steering is nice and smooth.

What is causing this noise and is it serious enough to have to fix now?

Which bushings? Maybe they're worn and lose now without having visible signs of wear like you mentioned? Have you tired tightening the mount?

If i heard a noise while parking, i'd assume it's power steering pump. That usually happens when there's low fluid.

Just my input
