Unless you have a 30mm socket at home, you'll need to rent one from the parts store along with a torque wrench capable of 250ft/lb. (i can't remember the exact torque).

Well I greased the bushings and that helped. But the sound is still there so I guess it must be the ball bearings

Did you replace the wheel bearing/hub assemblies?

No I haven't I have not had a chance to put it in the air. Cause the college I am won't allow us to work on cars... So full time College and full time car salesman keeps me busy. Over break I am going to try to fix it all.

Well then there is your reason why it's still "creaking".
