So i just recently notice that the passenger side of my 2011 tl awd started making a loud creaking noise usually when I'm parked. and when i turn the wheel I can hear it . when I'm in motion it's fine, even when I'm turning for some strange reason it's only when I'm still i turn the wheel it makes a really loud creaking sound were thinking its an inner tie rod but what else could be the most accurate diagnosis? it only has 40k

 

If it's easily reproduced, take it to the dealer.
