Suspension sounds?

So Im getting some interesting noises from my Left strut. When I am in Full right lock, I get a buzzing noise and some odd creaks when going over bumps. Does anyone have any ideas what it may be?

I was thinking it may be along the lines of strut bearing/tie rod/ cv-boots. Last time I checked my boots were just fine and there doesnt seem to be any play in the front wheels indicitive of a tie rod. Suggestions?

I think a lot of us 5.5 gens are staritng to have front end issues. Must be that time in the life cycle...I have 76,000 on my car, which I think is nothing to be having bearing, strut, sway bar, end link problems...I'm kind of pissed off. I do not auto cross, drive through pot holes or Dukes of Hazzard my car. It should not be falling apart like a POS at this point in it's life

is the creak that stupid $1 fix. it's a cap that covers the steering stop from rubbing up against something.
