Need help with "creaking" front end......
I recently had an alignment done and new tires installed. Now, there is a screech/creaking sound coming from the driver's side front wheel area. It makes the sound when the wheel is turned left or right. I jacked up the front and found that it does not make the sound when the weight is off the car, but does, when on the road. It sounds terrible and I can't imagine what it could be, so I have come to you folks for help. Thanks.

It was the stabilizer (or sway bar) bushings. I dropped the bar enough to get the bushings off, applied synthetic grease, reinstalled, and my noise is gone!! Thanks to all, I can now drive in peace.
