Squeaking and creaking!
Okay well I have 2 sounds. My car makes a creaking noise when moving up and down. Obvious right? I don't want to have to replace a whole bunch of stuff if I don't have to. and then My car Squeaks when turning but only at slow speeds, like when i'm turning around. I haven't checked anything out yet. just trying to get an idea of what all i might be looking at,.

More information is needed here. Is the noise coming from the front or the back of the car? Can you narrow it down to a specific wheel or other area? When you say moving up and down do you mean like pushing down on the truck for example? Theres a slew of things it can be such as springs/struts, spring isolators, control arm bushings, a-arm bushings, tire rod ends, sway bar endlink/bushings.

I can't seem to figure which side is making the squeaking noise but it is the front obviously i think it may be the LH side. and the creaking sounds like the springs are making it on the LH rear.

More than likely 2 problems, lube the control arm bushings and the steering rack bushing defect causing the creaking while turning slowly, use cliffyk's method on his website to repair the rack defect.
edit: use lithium grease to lube the bushings on the control arms

That's also possible, how many miles are on your car? Post up a video of the car making the noise.
