strage sqeek sound after droppin my cl

at first i though it was a motor mount, but i found out its something when i steer. now that i dropped my car bout 2" whenever i turn my wheel while the car is moving slow or not at all it sqeeks from whatever wheel is the direction im turning. it also makes the sound when as soon as i start to drive and durning the rollbak after stopping. the car is too damn low to look at wtf it is. i think it might been the damn brake dust metal shield thing behing the rotor. anybody else have this happen? theres no way both cv boots broke at the same time right? wtf?


urrrrgh!

Did you use a camber kit? My camber kit was a offset pivot mount for the upper control arm, and the polyurethane bushings squeaked like crazy.

is it a squeek or a pop? I've had a loud pop that's been bugging me for a few months now, i've had it at the dealer twice and personally have taken the suspension completely apart twice but we can't figure out what the fuck it is.

It's very annoying because it sounds and feels like something is baout to break. Guess i just have to wait for that to happen to figure it out (scary thought isn't it)

yaaaa...got the same prob! i lowered my car and found the same squeek at the same time...slowly turning......its your lower steering arm.....find a way to get under the car....or if you take the front left or right wheel off....youll see this arm with a seal that attaches under the strut....its probably blown....a new pair are about 50$ from the dealer and you'll need an alignment after you put em on....i'm waiting to buy a camber kit then put it all on then get an alingment....but that should solve your prob! good luck
