    This sounds familiar to me. Do you hear it just once per rotation? That's when I get mine (curious if we've the same problem).

    if it's tight enough to creak, there will be no free play. use a stethoscope to locate the creak while an assistant turns the wheel.

    I had this problem on my '05 MRT/AWD.
    Only way it ever got remedied was using a needle injector on the ball joints, refillin' with grease.
    Not the 'right' way but it worked for a couple seasons.
    It's hard to be humble when you're from Painesville, Ohio.
