The gasket replacement is a piece of cake - and they are not very expensive either - I think less than $20 for all four corners from Nissan. You can almost do it with the struts still on the car if you are VERY careful. All you need to do is take the 3 perimeter nuts off the strut mount (2 at the rear) NOT THE CENTER NUT, and lower the suspension down while it's still on the car. Slip the new gasket over the bolt, jack everything back into place. Voila - new gaskets and hopefully no creaking.
I know I couldn't tolerate the creaking for a year without trying something...
