I drove home from south carolina the other day and when I got home every time I turned the wheel or hit the smallest bump I hear a sqeaking noise near the front right tire. It almost sounds like something rubber. It makes the same noise even when I push down on the car above the wheel. Does anyone have any ideas at what this could be ?

-if you have poly sway bushings, probably need grease
-maybe ball joints need grease
-springs creaking? if its cold it will do that

can't really though, and if they need grease that badly, it has probably has a torn boot, which has washed out all the grease already and destroyed the joint

Yea im pretty sure I need a new ball joint

grease gun with a needle attachment does wonders for sealed ball joints if its already leaking slightly. Some grease is better then no grease. I have a slightly torn balljoint and just grease it every 4 months. has held up since

When was the last time you changed the shocks , if ever?
When I had my cl it was making a lot of squeaking noises but new shocks, springs and end links fixed that.. When imchanged my shocks after 7 years and 140k miles they where done.. Looked like they where done for a wile.

don't get me wrong you can prolong the life of them, by regular greaseing them, but such a pain in the ass to do though


and a fyi iirc they sell the boots seperate
