I keep hearing a creaking noise when I pull into or out of a parking space. Once mechanic would not give me an inspection sticker because he said I need to replace the upper and lower ball joints. Another mechanic looked at it and said he just lubed the ball joints and said it would be okay, but I am still hearing that creaking noise when turning the wheel. Should I just replace the ball joints or might it be another problem?

If you have lubed the ball joints and it didn't work and you are sure it's the ball joints that are making the noise, then they will have to be replaced. Most of them are not greaseable anyway.
