Question Creaking in front end while turning!!! Help!!

Whenever I am turning the wheel, I get a loud creaking coming from the front end. It doesn't matter whether I am at a complete stop, or if I'm making a turn, it creaks. I am not very familiar with suspension, so I have no idea where to start. I have done some searching, but all I can't find a solution...(Please keep in mind that I have stock suspension)

What should I do? What should I check? Do you have any pictures you could show me?

Thanks,
James

look for a leak around your rack and pinion, Then check around the joints with rubber to see if any are worn or torn really bad.

Does it only do it on turns, or when the wheel bounces on bumps too?

Thanks for the suggestions. Do you happen to have any pictures/diagram of where to check? (Sorry for the noob questions)

The "creaking" noise is only there when I turn, compression of the suspension is quiet as a mouse...
