Can you diagnose my car problem?

Asked by ItalianPrincess1217 (11979points) October 16th, 2018

2012 Dodge Journey AWD.

-The steering wanders in either direction and is especially noticeable at higher speeds. I would describe it as though it’s a very windy day and the gusts are pushing the car around (but there’s no wind).
-Slight vibration felt at higher speeds.
-Recently started making a creaking sound from front drivers side, especially when turning the wheel. When pushing on the front fender you can replicate the same creak sound.
-The steering wheel isn’t 100% straight when driving. It needs to be held a bit to the left in order to drive straight.

What could be causing the issues here? Bad ball joint? Tie rod? Bushing?

*Bad wheel bearing was just replaced so I know that’s not the issue.
