Is this normal for front suspension?
I put summer rims on my car yesterday and found that all bushings are all crack...it also makes creaking noise(like old bed spring noise) when I go through speed bumps(only when the weather is cold)
Is that normal or I need new bushings?

It couldn't hurt to replace those bushings, but they don't look completely gone. At least grease them, that's where the noise is coming from.

Well I believe that they are held in by mounts somehow, so if you unbolt the mounts, you can take the bushings out to grease them. A mechanic would probably do this for like $30 bucks or something, it may just be worth it.
