Default Front suspension noise

I have a 2007 Tucson with the 2.0 liter engine. It just started making a creaking sound in the left front when i turn the wheels. I can't find anything in the owners manual about grease fittings. Are there any? Or do I need to go back to the dealer? Any suggestions?

The short answer is "no". I have not seen a grease zerk on any car in almost 30 years, at least on an OEM part. Some aftermarket parts, like tie rod ends, sometimes have zerks to grease.

Any suggestions?
I would be most concerned about a dry CV joint. Crawl underneath and inspect the CV boot, looking for splits or cracks where grease has escaped. The sound could also come from the ball joint on the lower swing arm, the tie rod end or the upper strut. Have someone (you trust) turn the wheels while you are under there and listen for the source. Yes, you may have to take it to the dealership is it gets worse over time.
