Default Creaking sound from front wheels

I keep hearing this creaking sound coming from my front wheels when i take off.
Creaking sound is only heard on initial takeoff, or just starting to reverse or driving slow on uneven surfaces.

Anyone know what this is?

Re-torque your axle hub nuts to 220ft-lb and grease the axle splines. That usually takes care of 80% of the clicks and creaks in the rear.

Theres only so many things up that could make the noise. Jack the car up and go over front suspension and see if anything looks loose.

I've had this sound ever since I installed my rims + hubcentric rings.

Do you have aftermarket wheels or stockers?

If the above fails, check all the ball joints, suspension bushings, and if there are any cracks in the wheels.
