Creaking noises... When sitting still, Yes I've used the search and google, just want input. Options

Ok guys. I've searched, but it hasn't narrowed the culprits really... Now that that's out of the way.....

Noticed the noise this afternoon when I was about to leave the house. Sitting still, if I turn the steering wheel, it groans/creaks, only on the passenger side. Don't notice anything while driving. I lifted her up and turned the wheels by hand. Not much of a noise in the air, but still faint. I wiggled top to bottom, no play. In and out, no play. Side to side, a very minute hair of play. I spun the tire and it made a light rub noise.

I know I have probably original suspension(i get creaks over speed bumps). I replaced both axles in early 08. So here's my list. Help me cut down or give me some ideas...

-power steering system(not likely, sounds mechanical)
-ball joint
-tie rod
-bushings
-wheel bearing
-struts(saw it online as a possibility but highly doubt it)
-part of the axle(doubt because I replaced those not that long ago)
-part of the steering linkage

Thanks for all the brainstorming help in advance guys.... And btw, it makes the noise while the car is on AND off when turning the wheels
