Default Noise when I turn the steering wheel

When I turn my steering wheel I get a creaking noise from the front of the car. The only thing I can think of that could have caused this is when my dad backed into the front of my car. Any ideas?

Hehe well how bad was the backed into part? WHy don't you have someone look under your car while you turn it to see what's making the noise?

it was a fairly low speed impact. It just dented the fiberglass hood a little bit, scratched up the bumper, and dented the silver outline around the mustang logo on the grill. It was $860 total to repair.

3 of the 4 places I went recommended replacing the hood and their prices ranged from 1300-1800 to repair. The place I ended up going to was able to mend the fiberglass and you can't tell it was ever touched. Most all of the cost was for the repaint on the bumper and mended hood. Anyways, I'll have someone take a look from below when I turn and see what I can find out

try spraying all the rubber bushings on the suspension and steering with some WD-40 to lubricate the rubber. also check to make sure everything is tight on the suspension and steering.
