SPC UCA noises?

Lately I have been noticing a lot of creaking and cracking noises when turning and driving over bumps. It seems that the noise is coming from the UCA. Is anyone else experiencing this issue and what has the resolution been?

yup! most people here suspected that my uca's balljoint is going. I found an alternate solution that solved the problem for me.
My driver side was giving me issues so I took the wheel off.
Used the second jack to load the suspension to max.
Tightened two bolts that connect UCA to the body, they actually not tight. this caused the problem to go away .
later I found out that UCA's bolts that I tightened have a torque requirement from SPC, since my car wasn't squeaking, I didn't touch anything lol.
