I hear a squeeking/creaking noise coming from driver side front end when I turn the wheel or I hit a bump. Maybe a bushing? It's been getting louder and louder. Any suggestions?

does your car sound like a squeeky mattress going down the road???? I would suggest new ball joints!

gotta do some work on your end. push on the front end and see if the struts are shot.

if not, get under and check stuff out. be safe with jack stands and all that. good luck.

first grease up the grease nipples......if that don't help just get under there without it jacked up and start spraying wd 40 on one bushing at a time, then push down on the front end see if it helped, keep repeating till it stops.........thats what i did, it helps find the bushing that may be shot

My problem sounded exactly the same. The dealership replaced the bushings and it got better but was still there. I also had a whistle in the brake line too. It ended up being my power brake booster. I thought that was a little odd since it was making the squeaky old bed sound when you start off and go over bumps, but it seems to be quiet now.

Good luck!
