Post Creaking Noise

Hey guys, there is a creaking coming from the front of my car. I hear it when I take slow turns and sometimes when Im just driving slow in a straight line. It also makes the sound if I turn the wheel while stopped. Its an 06 is350. The steering also feels much more "loose" than it was when I got the car a couple months ago.
This is a video of the sound its making and the play in the steering wheel when I yank on the tires.

maybe the lower front control arm is worn out? Have someone take a look under the car at your suspension arms while you wiggle it. Our cars are getting old, so a whole bunch of bushings tend to go bad.

I second that check the outer tie rod. The wheel bearing if it's bad it will make sounds while driving. Turn your wheel left and check components for play there shouldn't be any. Up or down movements, or side to side.
