When I brake or accelerate from a dead stop, the front right end of my car creaks. Best way to describe the sound is a creak. Only happens when my front end pitches up or down, not when turning. Any ideas

You'll have to crawl underneath and listen while a helper bounces the car. You can also have an inspection done at a tire and alignment shop. The most common suspects are the inner anti-sway bar bushings and the ball joints. Control arm bushings can do that too but they aren't as common.
