Creaking noise when turning..
Sooo i was in the process of having the tires on my wheels flipped around, b/c of camber wear. So im rocking my oem wheels for now. And i put them on, and now i have a creaking noise from the front driver side. My ball joints look to be in bad shape, and i know the lowering hasnt helped at all. And now im hearing this crazy noise when i turn. is this the sign to stop driving until i get them fixed.. or is it something else? it only does it when i turn right, and sometimes when i brake... and turn left. Im not to good with diagnosing suspension problems.

IM an idiot...i figured it out... i was just freaking out.
But it was the tuner lugs on the oem wheels, that did it. My oem lugs were stripped out, and i used my tuner lugs on the oem wheels. They fit and hold the wheel secure, but they seem to back out slowly. And made that creeking noise. A trip to the pullapart, for some oem lugs fixed it...
but tie rods ar enew in and out, just waiting onmy ball joints and thats next! i was just scared they were goin out early on me..

Wow I have never heard that. You can hear your lug nuts backing out. Seems like the lug nuts have an issues if they back out.

naw they werent backing out, the spacer was moving and making the creaking noise when i turned.. And i think thats what made them start to back out. oem wheels, and tuner lugs just dont go together.

ive had that problem before as well, but again, my camber is excessive somewhere in the ballpark of -10-12° camber. once tightened down, the creaking stopped.
