Mysterious Sound..........

So as the headline states, there is a sound coming from up front when I turn the steering wheel. It could best be described as a screeching as when a rubber bushing gets a little dry. I thought it might be my swaybar bushings that needed some lube but up on further inspection when I trun the wheel back and forth I get this sound. Belts, bushings, let me know cause I just cant stand mysterious sounds . My only mod to suspension are the 2in spacers and 35's which arent the problem seeing how the sound only comes when the wheel is turned. A little long winded but that is it. Thanks all.

So I believe this sound is coming from the steering box. When I move the suspension there is no sound. But as soon as I move the wheel I get the creaking sound.
