Default strange sound coming from steering

I have wierd sound when I am turning my wheel really far when I am reversing out of a parking spot, or when i'm turning really sharply going into a parking spot. It never makes a noise when I'm actually picking up speed, just at these slow moments. Does anyone know what going on? something with the steering rack? somethng i think sounds loose, but I can't put my finger on it. Thanks a lot

You have aftermarket wheels/tires? Sounds like your tires are rubbing.

nope, its stock wheels. now that i have inspected it, its something to do with the steering. As I spin the wheel from one direction all the way to the other side, I hear a couple creaks along the way. Does anyone know if there is something I need to tighten or grease up?

I dont know if it's the same problem but for me it was the rubber dust seal (part number 53537-S2A-003). Just lift the car and turn the wheel left-right and you will probably hear it.
