Creaking noise from front left knuckle/hub area when shifting from park to drive or accelerating.
2017 Explorer Sport, 3.5l V6 T Turbo.
Have a creaking noise I've been trying to chase down, narrowed it down to the hub/knuckle area but not all that sure beyond that so looking for some more suggestions before I fire a parts cannon.
-visually boots do not look torn, and bushings also do not look terrible as far as I can tell.
-Not happening when turning since it's not doing the usual click, so not suspecting CV joint.
-Nothing feels loose when trying to move by hand.
-I don't hear it when hitting bumps.
-Hear it when holding brakes and accelerating a bit.
