Yeah it will be fine to drive, for the most part as long as your check engine light isn't blinking there isn't a crippling problem

i also noticed a creeking noise whenever i hit bumps in the road..doesn't sound like power steering because i can turn without any difficulty but when i hit a bump in the road i can hear a sort of creeking noise from my front driver side area..

Hello,

I have the same problem on my dodge ram 1500, "02, engine light came up.
