creaking and rattling front end

could the anti sway bar be the cause? would the steering rack be the cause. I went through every nut bolt etc. now it is coming and going at all speeds not just slow and it also moved to the pass side of the car. It started just on the driver side now. any ideas guys..

Same problem

Had the mechanic check everything, he said tie rods were ok, replaced two upper rear control arms. Creaking went away for two days then came back. He thinks it's the strut mounts. I'll have him replace those when I put on coilovers. Keep us informed when you find the culprit.
