Creaking sound when stationary?

Hey guys I have a problem and I'm not quite sure whats going on. I park on an incline and every time I step in the car or get out the car it starts creak. Also when I start the car and pull out from my spot, the car creaks even harder as the wheel is being turned. I have a video below so you guys can hear the sound it makes. Anyone else ever have a problem like this? Only suspension mods I have are H&R springs. Also my E-break is kinda loose, can this be the cause?? Its been doing this for a while now, but its starting to get worse.


Thanks!

To me it sounds like the strut bearing plates either binding when turning the steering wheel or possible the springs making noise. How many miles on are on the car?

Does it make the sound only when you park on an incline?

Reason I ask. I have a steep driveway and anytime I park a car (family included) and only use the ebrake, it makes that sound if I don't pull it tight enough. Your ebrake might need to be adjusted.

Another thing. Not sure about the X but.... My dads truck use to make that noise when parked on a level surface. Turned out there was a bolt loose on the steering rack. I tightend it up and never did it again.

Just to give you some ideas. Let us know what you find.
