I thought I'd post this here in case anyone else was browsing like I was a week ago looking for a solution. My model 3 started making some creaking noises when going around turns/roundabouts a few weeks ago. It seemed to be coming form the front passenger wheel area. Over a couple weeks to got worse, and came from both front wheels. The noise also happened whenever I turned the steering wheel or went over a speedbump.
I tried lubing pars of the suspension with silicon, but that had minor if any affect. Searching here and elsewhere on Google led me to believe it was likely that the upper control arms needed replaced, and indeed that was the case.
I made an appointment with the Tesla service center about the creaking and it was fixed under warranty. They thought it would take a few days (service center seemed busy), so I had a new model Y as a loaner (it was fun to try out the Y). But it ended up getting fixed the same afternoon. My car is thankfully quiet again!
I know there are a lot of service center complaints on this board, but my experience with the Columbus center couldn't have been better.
