    Hey guys, I recently changed out my upper control arms, upper and lower ball joints, outer tie rods, rack/pinion bushings, sway bar links, and lastly the sway bar bushings themselves with a brand new power steering pump. I made sure to get brand new parts for everything as well as serviceable ball joints and outer tie rods with grease fittings. A few months later after replacing everything, I started hearing a metallic creaking sound when I turn the steering wheel left or right. I suspected maybe the outer tie rods needed to be lubricated so I serviced them but the noise still prevails. PS I don't have any actual problems with steering, but I know that steering noises could be a sign of failure.
