I recently lowered my 2006 M35xon coilovers and used an adjustable upper arm to correct my camber. My drop isn't crazy; I have about an inch gap between the fender and tire.

At first I was driving the car around with too much positive camber, since I've corrected that, I am now getting a lot of creaking right under my feet when I turn the wheel at low to zero speed.

I suspect my lower front control arm rear bushing/bearing? Or the cross member? Or worst case it could be the steering rack....

I'm hoping it's simply the bushings, I wouldn't mind replacing these anyhow - anyone have a list of sizes or bushing part #'s?

Sounds like a ball joint on the UCA.

Upper Control arm is brand new, adjustable type. The noise is definitely coming from right along the same line as the steering rack.

My bet is on the bushings as well.
