I am guessing ball joints?
No sound when driving over bumps, or at higher speed. Only when turning sharply at parkings.
Tie rods were swapped at 84k miles, the car is now at 109k miles.
Also feel like the self-straightening after turns diminished notably.
I guess my question is rather "How do I know if it is ball joints, tie rods or bushings?"
Thanks for the bulletin! Mine does however have a later VIN. It's a facelifted 2008 wagon, so S211 strictly speaking.
It has double wishbone? I would never have guessed it, despite having stared at the suspension a dozen times.
My brain just kind of saw the bulb wells and went "Yeah, MacPherson". But now I just had to look it up.
When you find the issue, please inform us. I have the same issue, only happens when turning left, almost full lock. I'll need to fix it, after more important issues are solved.

Noises are hard to diagnose online, you really need to take it to a mechanic to have him check it. There's lots of things that cause noise down there and sometimes it's not what you think it might be. There's also sway bar links, motor mounts, the sway bar, bushings, wheel bearing, cv joint, brake pad/backing plate, etc.

I had my car on the jack stands last sunday when I made a new rear brake lines. Completely forgot to check the creeking source, when I had all the room to do it while bleeding the brakes.
