Default Low-pitch creaking sound

Hey guys, I have a 2000 GS300 (black on black) and I'm the second owner and I bought the car at around 144k miles. At first, I thought my balljoints were making the creaking sounds (everytime I turn the wheel), so I replaced them with Moog lower balljoints. The balljoints were not changed until now at 149k miles. After replacement, the creaking sounds are still present. The creaking sounds are similar to knocking sounds. (I can't really explain it exactly, but this is fairly close enough.) Do you guys have any idea of whats going on? The car has never been in an accident.

So is it a creak or a knock?

Take a video of the sound.
