When I'm backin down my driveway, as I turn, I hear this weird 'creak' when I first begin to turn the steering wheel and tires.

I know this isn't descriptive, but I will try and get a video. This doesnt sound normal.

 

I know what you speak of, Im only guessing its chassis twist.

 

Happened to me, except my problem got worse and got really audible under turning right while moving.


Maybe it could not be it... but for me it was my lower control arms. They came off the bushing completely...

Jack up your car, and examine where the lower control arm bolts to the chassis. If you noticed either end of the control arm has the bushing sticking out more than the other, that could be your problem.

If this isn't it... Try pushing down your car. Push down on each fender. If the suspension compresses and squeaks... there's your problem.

 

Check the wheel bearing if the noise is pronounced on turning movement.

 

I don't think it is the wheel bearing, judging by the sounds clips on youtube.

 

didn't listen to those. just a common issue. i'll give them a listen

 

Yeah, I'm pretty positive it's not the wheel bearing. Thank you for your assistance, though.
