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.

Thanks everyone. The sway bar would be the link kit and it was making clunking noises over potholes before I replaced them.

I’ll check the strut mounts and see if the noise can be replicated. This might be a stupid question, but wouldn’t that be replaced when replacing the struts?

Hey guys, sorry for delay in responding back. So it was the monroe struts that were used. I did replace both lower control arms in the front. I checked again and its weird but the sound came after it rained and then it disappeared. Still haven't isolated it yet.
