    Hi All,
    Here's the rundown:
    • Creaking from front right wheel well only when turning.
    • Intermittent
    • Only when turning right, not left.
    • Car has minor lift, no known damage
    • Visual inspection shows nothing
    • I'm thinking ball-joint? Strut?

    Any ideas? The help would be appreciated.
    -Van

    Oh, right. Should have mentioned it's a 2012 PreRunner, rear-wheel drive. Engine is the V6.4.0L, Automatic.

    Will try out the lube idea and note the results. Also, I'll check out the mounts. Many thanks for the ideas.

    Thnx, gearcruncher. Will try the silicone lube trick on the bushings and update my avatar, post-haste.
