I know where the noise is coming from, I just can''t get it to stop. Every time I turn right or left, the car makes a creaking noise. It'' s coming from the passenger side front wheel. The front coil moves every time the steering wheel is turned and it vibrates on the track that it rests upon causing a creaking noise. How can I get it to stop? I tried to use WD40, but it only works for about a week.

Any rough idea what that kind of a job would run? Sounds like something the garage need to fix.

Carnut like right, It''s called a mount should come with bearing. special tools can be rented, alignment may required after replacing.It maybe better left to a shop.It can a dangerous repair it you don''t know what you are doing. Cost about 250.00 plus cost of alignment.
