I'm hearing a creeking from the front of my car whenever I turn the wheels or go over a bump slowly. It started about 2 weeks ago, and has progressively gotten worse. I am thinking maybe a ball joint, but I don't know. Is there any way to tell if the bj recall has been done online? What else could this sound be?
 
Check for broken springs. I had a broken spring that made sounds when i hit bumps and turned the wheels. Might help!

NHTSA00V421002 12/15/2000 Recall 00V421002: Lower Lateral Arm Ball Joint Wear

827 07/01/1999 Recall - Lower Lateral Arm Ball Joint Boots

99V066003 04/05/1999 Recall 99V066003: Lower Ball Joint Separation

Call you dealer and give them your VIN they can track it by that. The recall numbers Ive highlighted in RED :hellyeah:

What else could this be??
You might check the strut mounts. They are on top and bolt to the body sometimes the rubber dry rots and they can make noise. I would lean towards ball joints.

Thanks a shit ton man, I hope none of them separate if that is the problem because I need to drive my car for a few days.
