Moved to Troubleshooting.


Not sure what a "craking noise" is, but if the steering wheel vibrates at speed it is a wheel/tire out of balance. Could be because you hit something and the wheel is bent, because wheel weights have fallen off, because a tire is warped, or because a tire is low on air pressure. Start with equalizing the tire pressures in all 4 tires to the same value. If that doesn't work, get the tires balanced.

You wheels/tires are not balanced.
I've also experienced this when I had the steel belting had failed. That set have tires where operating on borrowed time.


Cracking noise when cranking the tires can mean a ball joint has failed.
