Re: odd noise when i turn corners

if it's a clicking noise then it may be your cv joints

A creaking likely would not be the cv joints..wheel bearings would be likelier, or maybe just some worn out or loose bushings.

yeah... since when are struts moving parts that require bearings?... I think you mean bushing here? just a thought.

Don't forget to check your headlight fluid before you drive. :P sorry, had to.

the strut bearing is what allows the strut to pivot when you turn the stearing wheel. It starts off making a squeeling noise when you turn the steering wheel and eventually starts to grind, or thump. The bushings are mounted above the bearing. :P

number 8 and 10 on the link is the bearing: http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/...SHOCK+ABSORBER

I find that the LCA bushings and upper arm bushings creak real bad sometimes..just give the whole thing a good check over, take the wheel off..make sure nothing is loose, go over them all with a wrench and then put some white lithium grease on all the bushings you can see, that should do it.
