5.0 awd creaking noise

Hey everybody! I'm new here and I've got a problem. My 97 5.0 Explorer has a creaking noise at slow speeds in the area of the front driveshaft and transfer case. I changed the front shaft thinking it was a bad cv joint but the noise is still there. when the shaft was removed the noise was gone, but the new shaft did not solve the problem. In neutral with the truck rolling it will creak when turning the steering left and right. The noise seems to go away over 10-15 miles per hour. Before I change any more parts for no reason I figured maybe I should ask for some opinions on the transfer case,front cv joints or hubs....thanks

had the same problem and i replaced my t-case and it was all set
