Hey guys i own a 94 crx del sol
for the past month i have had this creaking noise that seemed to be coming from the front of my car. These creaks tend to only happen when im braking and turning or the moment i start to come to a halt. I've realised the creaks only seem to happen when im braking and somedays its really bad and somedays it doesnt creak as much..

So what i did today is, i held on the brake and just steered to the left and to the right while halted. I noticed that when im holding the brake and steer to the left, around after 1 and a half spins of the steering wheel to the left, i hear the creaking sound. When i spin it to the right, there is no sound or problem?

would anyone have any clue what this might be? is it the front left bushes or cv joint?

id also like to mention that my brake pad usually vibrates a little when im braking at high speeds as well

[EDIT] actually it creaks as well whenever im turning whilst in motion, especially in a car park and such

check brake fluid
re bleed system to remove and air
check disc thickness
check pads
check for handbrake drums linings might of fell off ( loose springs )
disc warpage
backing plate might be loose
