Creaking in front end.

before I start tearing apart my ride any suggestions on what it may be.... when I am not moving and I turn my wheel left and right I hear a creaking noise which leads me to believe it's my lower ball joint, just looking to confirm, any suggestions on what to replace it with. Possibly complete lower control arm? I'm sitting on function and form type 2 coilovers, looking for part numbers manufacturers any recommendations are greatly appreciated .

thanks
paul

F&F coilovers are junk.

Jack the car up safely and have someone turn the wheel while you try and locate the source of the sound.

Thanks for the heads up!!! I purchased the car with them already installed. what are recommended by most as far as coilovers, upper and lower control arms, wheel bearings , ball joints....and so on, basically all major suspension components.

thanks in advance.

Sorry for the late response. TEIN makes great quality coilovers for the price. As far as suspension components go, you can't go wrong with SPC or Ingalls.
