ever since i lowered my car its always creaked (lowered 2" all around) to the right only, then put on my stock w/ 1 coil cut and it raise it about 1" all around, but the noise was still present. added stock 17" rims for track only have 18's for DD and it got even worse... (video below)

also read up on this link ( 2003 Mustang GT Steering Rack Fix )

so could it be this ( i hope it is cause i bought them lol :facepalm: )

or ball joints, inner/outer tie rods

here's the link :headscratcher:
Bad balljoint? - YouTube

sorry not the best link, but it only happens when at a stop, backing up or low speed turning

Its just the rack sleeves making noise it wouldn't hurt anything
