Replaced parts, did not fix creaking from fron right wheel
Was getting creaking sounds from front right suspension. I had a leaking power steering rack that I had replaced, and read the fluid can damage the front sway bar bushings. I ordered Front inner sway bar bushings, Front outer sway bar end links, front sway bar to link bushings. Replaced both sides and ground some crap the was building up on the bar. Did what I could with a flathead screw driver to scrap some rust and stuff from the ball joints and clip thing that holds the bushing to the bar. I started having a steering pull to the left since. Did the bar get bent, or I didn't get it back on right? Any help diagnosing the creaking is appreciated!

No idea what your car is - reveal the secret and we might be able to help. My 86 had a knock that was the camber blocks - somebody adjusted the camber without loosening both bolts. There was corrosion inside the steel mounts too. Likely your bushings are shot and likely your ball-joints are too. Clean everything with simple green and take a good look in there. Likely if your sway bar rubber bushings are shot, they all are. The only clue my ball joints were shot was the torn boot. Even the one without the torn boot had the bushings all disintegrated. Good luck.
