My car has been making this creeking sound for a while and figured you guys might have some opinions on what it might be so I can correct it.

Whether the car is on or off, I turn the wheel left or right it will make a creeking sound. It sounds like it is coming from the pass. side front but I am not sure. Its loud enough to clearly hear from inside. I just have to move the wheel alittle bit. I have tried jacking it up and turning the wheels by push on the rim and it does not make the noise. But when I lower it back down it will still do it. I thought I could just grease the front end but I did not find any grease fittings down there.
The car has steeda lowering springs and UPR c/c plates- incase you ask.

Maybe somebody on here has had this problem or just knows of a common front end part that goes bad and creeks very loud. Please help if you can.

Most likely to be the steering rack bushings. You can get new ones and installation instructions at www.maximummotorsports.com

Before spending money on new rack bushings, retorque the steering rack bolts and see if that helps. I've got the poly bushings and still have the creak, but it goes away when I retighten the rack bolts.

I'll probably take it to a shop and see if they can find but I will try those things first. I won't have time to try it til next weekend though.
When I figure it out I'll bring this thread back to life and let you guys know. Thank you guys
