Creeking cracking etc from front right wheel

Front right wheel starting creeking sounds like a rusty spring when I turn my wheel to the left. Also when I brake at really slow speeds I hear it doing it and some clunking. I had my struts and strut mounts replaced just last year also my bearings were all replaced with Timkens 2 years ago... I dont think its those. Also the CV boot looks intact. Ideas? 2005 SE / 1" offset rims and tires from stock but same diameter as OE's

IDEAS?

I'd re-check the CV boot and axle. All it takes is small split in the CV boot and all the axle grease to ooze out and you've got the issue described.

Update! I went to the mechanic and these things looked fine except the lower driver side control arm bushing/boot is shot the one right beside the wheel guess we will see if that does the trick.
