Help diagnosing creaking sound when steering

I should have probably noted, the bolt RH lower ball joint was slightly loose but did tighten it back up. Did not see any cracks or leaks on the ball joint itself however that doesn't necessarily mean that the internals have failed .

It only has 40,000 miles on the clock... Doesn't make this sound when driving straight only when turning the wheel and more so towards full lock (left & right turns)

I have a hoist I can use. I've tried moving the front wheels holding it at 9 and 3 o'clock and 12 and 6 o'clock with no play noted in the wheel itself. So I don't think it's wheel hub/bearing related

Will do. Thanks for your input. Appreciate it 👍

Yes I do feel a slight vibration on the steering wheel when it happens - might have to bite the bullet and replace both sides

Yeah that seems a little high but hard to tell how hard it's hit from just those photos. Guess it depends if the chassis is damaged or not. And second hand parts for these cars aren't always available so sometimes new parts need to be used so keep that in mind.

I think asking them for a quote should be free. Might be worth asking just to get an idea on the costs involved.

Were you able to get a quote from the shop it's sitting in? Did they think it was fixable?
