Q: Creaking when turning steering wheel
I just recently bought a used 2011 Hyundai Sonata from a dealership and I noticed when I was leaving the car lot with my car that I was making a clicking sound when I turned my wheel all the way to left and right when backing out of the spot I was in. I also noticed that the car creaks when I turn all the way to left and right when coming up on a incline. Can you please advise me on what could be causing the car to make those noises?
