Default 1996 f-150 creaking

My 1996 f-150 creaking when I turn. Can't figure out what's going on?

A very common problem with Fords is dried out, worn front end parts. No grease fittings on OEM steering parts and eventually they dry out, creak and sometimes break leaving you in a dangerous situation. Control arm bushings are another item which wear out but my guess is ball joints.. I would get the front end inspected to be on the safe side.

I have replaced all of that. Still creaking and clunking Replaced tie rods and ends drag link ball joints with zerk fittings pumped all of them full of grease, radios arm bushings, shocks . Every thing I could think of. Now I'm wondering if it's the cab mount rubbers. Werd, feel it in the steering though because it kinda clunks too.

In the future to make it easier for others to help you, be specific with your entry. Don't be vague and say it creaks, what's wrong? If you replaced items, state it in your entry and you only have to post it once.
