Creaking while turning right only?

[theronin]

well the title explains it all, my driver side front wheel creaks when i turn right only. sounds like a kind of chunk. i went into autozone and had them search for a wheel bearing firguring that would be what it was, however they didnt have anything listed for my car. 1995 s14 5 lug. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance, Logan.

sounds like you have a bad ball joint. they tend to make a sound like you described. check your lower control arms.

if the boots on your ball joints have busted and let any kind of dirt or water or anything in it, it will wear it out. Just like a cv axle when the boot breaks. I cant say for sure without looking at your car, but from what you described this is what i think it is

yeah its them alright. i took my car to get an oil change and took a look at them when they had her up on the lift. sure enough all the boots are busted. thanks for the help guys.

If you are getting noise only when you turn one direction try jacked up the car and shaking the wheel by grabbing each side of the tire and pulling back and forth. If there is play you could have a bad wheel bearing.
