Help! TL suspension noise (with video)

Hey guys. I will be as descriptive as possible as I know it's hard to diagnose over the Internet.

I just bought the car yesterday and now it started doing this. I'm assuming the previous owner lubed something up to stop the noise before selling it. It just started doing it.

It makes this creaking noise when accelerating from a stop, and when braking. Also makes the noise if you turn the wheel all the way to the left or right. Does not make the noise over bumps, can't make it do the noise by pushing on the corners of the car, or by making it sway.

In this video, I'm making the noise by accelerating and braking over and over.

have you tried jacking up the car and wiggling the wheels? I'm no expert but it sounds like a part of the suspension is broken and the tire is wiggling. check upper/lower control arms, tie rods and all the rubber seals to make sure nothing is leaking.
