Default weird creaking noise...

when im at a complete stop and take a 90 degree turn to the left, i hear this weird creaking sound up to about 8 or 9 mph. u can kind of only hear it with the window up but it was down. it almost sounds as if u were walking up the stairs of an old old house. i was thinking maybe that it was making it because of my bumper. abuot 2 months ago i was backing out of a drive way and bottomed out and ripped it off. i was able to pop it in but it just kept popping back out so i decided to get it fixed. i dont really recall it making this noise when the bumper was broken before. but i got the bumper fixed but it wasnt able to be completely aligned because there was a piece on the bumper that was broken but the only way to fix that was to get a new one. so i just had to get new side clips for both sides. but now thats not my problem, its the creaking sound. if someone could give me some help that would be great.

Yep I had the same noise. Took it to the dealer and the diagnosis was upper control arm and sway bar links and my quote was over $1000 CAD with labor. If you do it yourself, you can buy the parts for under $200 CAD from a bunch of places.
