front creaking noise, need help!

I have had this noise for awhile now but just decided to figure out what was wrong, I attached a video of the issue. I basically gripped the tire tread and rolled it back and forth as much as it would go in park. I am not pusing down on the car, just rolling. Im hoping someone has heard this before. I have access to a alignment machine and lift at school but wanted yalls opinion to try and get a good idea of what to look for. when I had it aligned at pep boys in july with 4k less miles everything suspension like tie rods and ball joints seemed tight but the passenger side which is where im having this noise was off alighnment the most mainly toe i believe but I any going to get it on mine at school tomorrow and diagnose, again just wanted some opinions on what yall think. Thank you for your time and I apologize for the long message

If it occurs when you put downward force on the front quarter panel (i.e. press down on the corner of the car toward the ground) then it could be your ball bearing(s). I had this problem for a while - the sound went away and then shortly after I noticed a rattle and drifting at highway speeds.

My right upper ball bearing was bad. When it was noisy it sounded like a squeaky door hinge.

control arms and tie rods are likely suspects
