Depending on what Nissan you have possible steering stops missing or cracked. Makes a creeking noise on the up-down movement.

Fix is to replace plastic cap on the lower part of spindle near ball joint on most cars or truck. then lube up with white lithium or bearing grease to smooth out rubbing. should cost no more than $1.00 to $5.00 a cap depending on car or truck
