Whenever I turn the wheel in my car lately it makes a loud creaking noise. Kind of sounds like a noise a ball joint would make, although I had the recall performed on my car about 6 months ago for the ball joints. It seems to be coming from the right side more than the left. It does not appear to be coming from the tierod ends. Whenever I took the wheel off the right side and turned the steering wheel the noise went away. However I put a jack with a light load under the rotor and turned the wheel, and the noise came right back. Its not coming from any of the ball joints but somewhere in the steering assembly that I can't reach right now without my buddies lift. It is 10 degrees out right now and that may be the cause for the noise but I highly doubt it. What I want to know is, does anyone know what the noise can be caused from, and more importantly is this car safe to drive?
