    I have that same noise now with my UCA's. What I do is clean them, then lube, then drive a bit and it goes away. But you said you already did that.

    Joshua, its been awhile since I had them rebalanced. Will check for rubbage.

    Iggy, I lubed them up and there is still noise. Maybe the uni ball is so shot it still makes noises.

    It's the last thing you hear before the boogie man kills you....or your suspension kills you.

    It could be so many things. Have someone turn the wheel while you put your hand on each component until you find it. You should be able to feel the creaking. The fact that you lubed a component doesn't eliminate the possibility that it can make noise.

    Fuhhhhh, so I went to get my alignement and the guy sprayed some random lube on my uca uniball. Sound went away. Damn dry lube I've been using wasn't working.
