Hey guys,
I've been getting a squeaking noise from the driver's side lately, sounds like I've got a bird stuck under the front wheel. The car squeaks when I do the bounce test, but the car does not continue to bounce to suggest a worn shock. I was thinking something could be rubbing near the tie rod end or possibly a bushing? The noise seems to come when the car is idling and I turn the wheel but I know the power steering also works hardest then and it may just be that I'm hearing. The squeak is there when the car goes over bumps but it doesn't always make the noise. I also hear the squeak when there is a weight transfer such as when I leave a light, or come to a stop at one. Any ideas? And also, any tests I can do to rule out some possible causes?
Thanks,
~A.C.
