Why does it make a creaking sound when I turn the steering wheel?It sounds like its coming from the front drivers side wheel. Any movement in the steering wheel both right and left makes this sound, it's been slowly getting worse for the past 3 or 4 months.

Ford has way more trouble with steering and suspension parts separating leading to loss of control and crashes than all other manufacturers. Squeaks, rattles, and clunks must never be ignored and certainly not for even one month. Have those systems inspected at a tire and alignment shop. The main suspects are the lower ball joints. If one of those breaks the bottom of the wheel will squirt out, tear the flexible rubber brake hose, and smash the fender. Once the repairs are completed, have the car inspected annually at a minimum and whenever you hear a noise or feel a new vibration.
