Creaking in steering 2004 G35 sedan

[fieldsd2000]

Hello,
I'm new to this forum and don't really know how it works. I have a 2004 G35 sedan with a loud Creaking noise when steering wheel is turned right or left, almost sounds like something is binding. Gets much worse as car warms up? 160K miles. does anyone know the probable cause? when the car is first started no noise at all, shocks, struts, control arms n bushing all replaced last year? Help if you can $$ are short at this time and I'll be searching threads to see if it something I can resolve myself. Thank you in advance for any suggestions or direction on this issue.

My 08 start doing this and it got progressively worse. It'd be fine on startup but after a few minutes it'd start creaking. It was the steering rack. A new one was put in and it went away.

Take it to an alignment place and they can probably diagnose it for you. If it ends up being this, it can be under 1K to replace if you don't go to the dealer.
