Steering noise like croaking/creaking at very low speed when turning

Hi everyone, I noticed a croaking/creaking noise that comes when I turn right at very low speed.
I just recently replaced the struts, lower control arm and sway bar. I had changed the power steering fluid and the fluid level is good.

could it be the cv axle or tie rod or do you guys think maybe rack and pinion? Thanks in advance for any help in this. I was planning to have it checked out next week. I have a 2011 ex-l.
do an advanced search on the community you will find lots of hints.
I had a similar creaking sound that was from worn out link kits.
when you say sway bar you mean link kits?
 
They replaced it as an assembly. I’ll check what brand it was and let you know
you mentioned changing the control arm? was it both?

I changed mine in pairs, only one ball joint was bad causing vibration at 65-70MPH.
as John Clark mentioned a bad ball joint can creak.
Had this issue on my 1992 Acura Integra, and there was no play in the ball joint.
that was fun isolating!
