Default Creaking like a rocking chair

So I'm back guys, I know you all missed me haha

Anyway, so I have a mild issue with the stang that I'm sure some of you can diagnose. Whenever I'm traveling at low speeds >15mph I get this creaking that sound identical to a squeaky/creaky rocking chair if I turn the wheel to the left at any time. It happens i'd say 50% of the time I drive around, but I've always had this hissing from the power steering pump, and my belt needs to be changed. Could this be related?

Thanks guys
I appreciate your help.

You know guys...I think this is just an all around Ford issue. I owned a 2001 F-150 and it made the same power steering pump noises and so did my friends, then in my moms 1997 Mustang 6er it made the same noise. My buddy has a 2001 lightning same noise, my 2001 GT same noise....seeing a trend? You would think that Ford would have caught on by now. lol. +1 Cliff I read about this years ago and never got around to doing it...did it turn out well for you?
