That would be a drag. You're saying that cause the strut rotates when the wheel is turned causing the creak noise?

Yes, the noise would be something like an unwinding, snapping spring..

Several years ago, after installing a set of coilovers on the 987CS, I got a creaking noise when turning the steering wheel, and after removing the strut again I noticed that I didn't removed the bearing from the OEM strut and didn't install it on top of the coilover spring, and this was causing the creaking noise. Please note that the noise was created by only moving the steering wheel (without the car moving).

Something happens every time I rush to complete a job or get help from my younger son (he is always on a hurry..)

Hopefully yo will find the culprit.

Yeah....It happens parked and while driving I can hear at a low speed. I'm gona back off on the nut see if that does anything. Otherwise pull it out and replace the bearing. V
