We just bought our 2004 Stratus a month and a half ago and it started making this grinding/creaky noise when we make a left hand turn. What's the most likely cause of this? The rear suspension has also been lubricated for the same reason a couple weeks ago.

Raise the vehicle, and check both CV axles and sway bay links. While you are at it, check your front suspension as well.
