Recently I've been noticing in the morning when its cold that I get a weird squeaking / Creek noise when I turn the wheel all the way around when I'm Reversing or going forward . Has anyone else noticed this, is it normal I thought maybe it was the springs or the struts it's only when I'm turning the wheel all the way now when I go over speed bumps.

Anyone?

The Eibachs on my Mustang did it. I believe it because of movement against the rubber isolators.

Most definately sounds like ball joints but being that new they shouldn't be going already but it doesnt hurt to get em checked. Is it doing it turning both left and right or just one way or the other? I've heard of some people getting a bit of creaking with eibachs but i have eibachs and have never had that issue.

At the bottom of the spring. The rubber between the spring and strut perch.

Just when im going in reverse to park somewhere it makes the noise. Comes from the driver side front wheel

Have someone put it on the hoist or jack it up and see if the wheel has any play up and down or left to right and take a pry bar to see if there is any play in the ball joint. Otherwise it could be your spring but from what you are describing it sounds like it could be the ball joint which is also a safety issue when it gets real bad. It doesnt hurt to have a shop check it out anyway.
