creaking noise from my front end...
Every time I accelerate or coming close to stopping, i get this creaking noise. I am really trying to figure out what it is. It's not a knocking noise just sounds like a really lurky creaking noise. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

try this:
Park the car, get out and push down on the car at the wheel. If it makes the noise, inspect the control arm boots. If they're split then it's the control arms.
Note they're have been 2 instances here of control arms cracking apart, presumably after the ball joints seized. You don't want this to happen to you.
How many miles/years, and where do you live?
