Alienment and strange noise up front?

I recently purchased my dream Acura TL. A 2006 WDP TL with all options and a 6 speed manual. Its mint and Certified with only 28,600 miles.

The problem is the alignment and a weird sound when I turn. It doesn't do it all the time. The alignment feels good sometimes then at other times is sways off in either direction. As for the noise, when I turn I hear a creaking noise, like a loose stabilizer noise. I don't know how to explain it. Its not a rattle, I wonder if the noise has anything to do with the alignment???

Please help with opinions? I hope its not a diff problem. It is certified so I will take it in as soon as the streets are clear form our BLIZZARD last night.

I just wanted opinions so I have some knowledge before taking it in to Acura.

Thankyou for any ideas???

Jeff D. My 3rd TL.

check the cv joints by rolling down the window so you can hear, turn the steering wheel all the way left and from a dead stop, slowly begin to drive forward listening for a click click click
Then turn the wheel all the way right and repeat
Click is cv bearing- normal wearout item IF the car has been beat and enjoyed~
Or the sway bar end links may be broken

CPO inspection is not as much as you think- its not a guarantee of what the cars life has been or whats been done for maitenance

Alignment off will make the car wander- otherwise its solid down the freeway
Check the tire pressure 32-35 is good
Make a list of problems and take it in- check the seat heats working etc
