Steering problem?

Okay, when I'm at a dead stop, and turn my wheel all the way to the left, i hear a slight creaky noise coming from up. If I start to accelerate with the wheel cut, The driver's front wheel sort of....hops. I initially thought it was a massively messed up wheel bearing, so i replaced them, and it still does the creaking and hopping. Any suggestions what to check? I heard it could be the ball joint or the alignment.

Re: Steering problem?

Hopping sounds like the sway bar end links are bad. Probably broken completely off. I had the same problem. Found both sides were broke. Replaced them, fixed the problem. Still have squealing, however I'm led to believe that's just the pump/belt, and haven't really looked into it as it only happens when cranked going around a corner.
