does it sound like a creaky rocking chair? My truck is doing it too. Ive got 125k, replacing lower ball joints, and Idler/Pitman arm when they show up

I've previously replaced the upper balljoints due to wear, around 100k

lower ball joints and idler arm are installed, couldnt get the pitman arm off, ill have to save that for another day, creaking noise is gone, rides much tighter going over bumps and steering

Steering wheel creak

I took the dash off my truck to replace the evaporator and now my steering creaks like an old door when I turn it. The noise is definitely up near the top of steering wheel itself, it's not outside. Any ideas on what it could be?
