Creaky sound when right turn!!!

Hi.

I have 96' I30 which is 137k on it. It makes creak sound when only the car makes right turn at the left front. I think the right front is fine. What is the problem?

Thanks.

I'd check the axle, strut and wheel bears. But its most likely the axle, those usually go in the high mileage cars

creak crack or popping noise??

creak...i would say a bushing if it sounds like it is coming from the body itself, of either strut or spring (you would need to determine where exactly the sound is coming from, have a friend stand out side and see if they hear the creak when you turn make a slow turn if you need to)....if it's popping or sounds like a crack or thud....than its your cv joint/axle.

Your too vauge right now...best bet is to try and narrow/pinpoint where its coming from for better help i.e. body noise, if it sounds more of a suspension prob, get underneath her feel and look at the bushings.

let us know

The squeak sound also happens when I drive on the rough road.

sway bar end links~!~ FTW!!!! Just did mine and I had the same problems.

to check them, jack the car up, take the wheel off and see if the slide up and down real easy, if so ... they need to be replaced. once you see the new ones, you'll understand.

axle if you make a SHARP turn and it "clicks", but otherwise, my guess is end links
