Exclamation *VIDEO* Creaking suspension in COLD weather

My C450 has developed a creak in the passenger side front suspension. Video here:

There are no clunks and the car isn't sitting funny or handling weird. This gets worse the colder it gets and goes away when it's warm. Anyone experience this or have any ideas?

C200 estate 2019 AMG line premium plus.
Could be a worn bush in the suspension somewhere.
Maybe use a silicon spray on the bushes and see if the noise stops or gets quieter.

It was a lower control arm (FRONT RIGHT LOWER REARWARD). Had to be replaced, the bushings were shot.
