Ok guys/gals. My car started creaking from the front end when going over any sort of uneven surface, when I bounce it up and down by pushing on the fender, when i turn the wheel, and even when parking it (when I let off the brake) and it moves forward a bit before coming to a stop it sounds like old wooden floors creaking. No popping or knocking. Just "creeeeeeaaaakkkkkk". It started seemingly overnight and I'm wondering if it's the ball joints or perhaps tie rods? What say you?
