Steering Creak....

When i turn the car i hear like a creaking noise coming from the front of the car, but it only does it when the car is going slow around a corner....any idea's of what it could be.

Sounds like you need youre tie rods greased or some kind of metal to metal contact with youre suspension coils. I would inspect youre front end for any worn parts, I pretty sure a good grease job will cure those problems.

CV Joins my friend! Fun, fun, fun! They go through even more stress if your car is lowered.

Do you guys grease your Tie-Rod ends with a grease gun? Alot of Lube shops miss this if you do not tell them or let them know. Mine go completely dry about every 10-12k miles.

Mine does this too, but I think it is more of a CV joint problem, as someone mentioned. It's just odd that it only happens when the vehicle is cold and just pulling out from a parking spot, never does it at high speeds or around corners. It also has to be moving to make the noise, so it's gotta be the CV joints, although now I will make sure to grease the ball joints with a grease gun this week, if I can find someone who has one.
