Suspension Noise

I have this really wierd noise coming from the front passenger side suspension. Its like a creeking noise that I really notice when making left hand turns and when I straighten the steering wheel back out. Almost sounds like something may be slightly loose or bent. I plan on taking a good look this weekend but wanted to post to see if anyone had any ideas what it could be? Thanks in advance!

Anti-sway bar rubber bushings (bar/body) are likely. The sway bar twists in the bushings when you turn or particularly when you go over a bump on one front wheel. The brackets can be loosened, bushings removed and lubed, and remounted. I believe it's a split bushing that will pull off when bracket is removed.

good luck

Wouldn't that be something that would be caught during inspection??? I'm gonna take a look at the sway bar bushings this weekend and see what I can find. If its not them I guess I'll have the CV joints checked. Thanks.

Checked it out last night, definitely not the swaybar bushings. Took a closer look, appears to be coming from the joint right behind where the brake rotor is and where everything meets.
