Steering Noise, 2002 Honda Fit (Jazz)
Good morning guys.
My name is Diego, and after some looking arond, I was able to buy a 2002 Honda Jazz (Fit), M/T, with the 1.3 petrol engine. Despite of having "only" 140.000 km on the clock, it has a couple of issues that hopefully I will be sorting out in the following days, but after driving it only for a couple of days, it is starting to grow on me.. I love how this little guy drives!.
One of these issues is a strange noise in the steering... I know that there are several threads going on steering noises, and I tried to go over most of them.. but I am not sure that this particular noise I am hearing is the same as in those posts.
My Jazz (Fit) drives perfectly good, with no vibrations, or noises, and feels very stable. the steering feels light, and it is returning properly. The problems is that when I am parked, or moving really slowly, whenever I turn the steering wheel, it sounds.. mmm I don't know how to properly describe it.. like a creaking noise.. I was hoping you guys can take a look at the youtube video I uploaded of it, and see if you can identify the sound.
I sounds the same when moving the steering wheel to both sides, and despite the handling is great, this sound is a bit worrying...
I appreciate your help and your comments. I have to take it tomorrow to the dealear to solve an issue with the AC, and I will point this issue out... but I don't have much faith in this dealer solving my problem.. so I would like to have and idea of what the problem may be.
Best regrads.

Lots of cars creak when their upper control arms ball joint goes dry (lack of grease) or is failing. Have someone sit in the car with the engine on turning the steering wheel while you are outside the car listening for noise coming from the front wheel wells.
