There is a disturbing creaking/knocking sound that only happens when making a right or left turn while accelerating. it doesn't happen if my foot is on the breaks.. the power steering line was recently replaced and i've added fluids and done proper oil changes.. what could this be?
1- front wheel bearing hub loose or loose axle nut
2- front shock(s)
3- ball joint(S)
4- lower control arm bushing(s)
all of these things can be checked by a professional in about 15 minutes and should be relatively painless financially

chances are the belt is getting so wet its slipping on the pulley causing you to lose power assist temporarily

If you add fluid as you go, not letting it run dry, it will be fine, but I'm wondering how much you would need to add for that long a trip. If it runs dry, the pump can seize, but if it's only for a very brief time (say one minute?) it would probably survive. I know of people running a vehicle with a dry ps pump for a rather long time, and the pump was ok, but it's got to take some life out of it. Do you or a friend belong to AAA? If you have the extra coverage (or your friend, relative, etc) you can get it towed to the mechanic for free. Coverage is good if friend is in vehicle with you when problem occurs.
SOURCE: Juddering and noise on front wheels when braking
The disks may be warped, which will cause a vibration under braking.
Also if it's an ABS system, the vibration is normal but only under heavy braking, and should not continue to vibrate when working properly.
SOURCE: clicking noise when turning right
check your cv axles in the front end. they are basically your drive axles. the popping while turning is usually the outer boots on the axle shafts have torn and the grease inside the boots has ran out causing the shaft to be dry and click or pop when steering. usually you can replace the boot thats torn but it must be done within a few days of it tearing otherwise you will need to replace the axle shafts.

Whenever the 'CHECK ENGINE' (Service Engine Soon) light comes on, the ECU (Engine Control Unit) sets a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). These codes identify the particular engine management system which caused the light to come on.
You'll need to use/find an OBDII (On-Board Diagnostic) Scanner to retrieve any code which have been stored in the ECU computer. Afterward, we might be able to help you DIAGNOSE the problem and perhaps eventually fix the problem.
Go to www.hmaservice.com and register( Vehicle by VIN). Afterward, you have access to shop manuals, service bulletins, wiring diagrams, etc. about your vehicle.Take/Tow your vehicle to an authorized Hyundai dealership and pay the diagnostic fee... they will tell you exactly what the problem is and the cost of parts/labor to fix it... at least this way you'll know what the problem is and what's required to fix it.
