My steering wheel has started to make a sort of creaking noise when I turn left. It doesn't happen every time and I just had it in to Jiffy lube for a check and oil change so I think the fluids are fine. Any thoughts?

The steering and suspension systems should be inspected at a tire and alignment shop. In particular, they will check the ball joints, tie rod ends, and anti-sway bar links and bushings. The people there are experts at finding the causes of noises, vibrations, and bad tire wear. Upper strut mounts can make noise too but they can't be fully inspected without removing the strut and disassembling it. This can even be as simple as lubricating the rubber boot where the steering shaft passes through.
