Front suspension creaking

ok the problem is that when i am going very low speed like pulling into or out of a driveway there is a very loud creacking noise like creak.creak.creak......as im turning the wheel....

this is coming from both wheels in the front

could it be a wheel bearing

or a bad bearing plate inside the strut mount

please help me out this is worrying me greatly

check your power steering fluid. It happened to me, as I discovered that I had a leaky power steering hose that was cracked. All fixed under warranty. Check the fluid level if it's normal. I know we can rule out it can't be the bearings, since it only moves when it's rolling but not when you turn the wheel. Other than that, it could be the strut could be bad.
