Default Front end issues

2000 Cherokee Sport 155,000 miles

Two problems:

1) 2 months after doing the front brakes (two new rotors, and new pads.) I am getting a creaking sound from the front when I am braking.

2) An unrelated issue, is a small squeeking when turning to go around corners, or turning to park

Any thoughts?

sounds like you need to do a lube job on all the bushings tie rods ball joints etc and while doing this make sure they feel solid if not replace them as if they break you are in for one hell of a ride trust me

You also need to check the rods the calipers slide on to make sure they are free.
