i hear a creak type noise coming out of my drivers side front wheel, also when i hit certain bumps it hits up against the splash wall(the splash wall is hang down about a bit but not close enough to rub up against it and never hit it b4. well i make a sharp right turn then i hear it especially if im going down hill. i need to know what kind of bushing it could be

sounds like a bad strut to me. Maybe a ball joint?

Strut is easy with a little knowledge. Ball joint is not difficult either but most manuals say to replace the lower A arm. If you want more detail on changing them let me know.

By the way go through and give everything a good shot of good grease.
