So I pulled into my parking garage tonight and I heard a weird squeaky sound. So I turned off everything and drove real slow with the window down and heard it over every bump. Got to my parking space and when ever I turn the wheel it squeaks too. Checked to make sure its only on the driverside by pushing down on the car above the wheel and it did only appear to come from the driver side.

I have comptech springs on stock shocks. I checked the springs as well as I could with the car on the ground and a ice cold mag-light in my bare hand, and they seem fine.

Any ideas? I found a few threads that only mentioned this problem when going over bumps but nothing about when turning the steering wheel.

Could this just be a lack of lubrication on some of the suspension parts?

Could it be from the light dusting of snow and the massive amounts of salt they put down recently?

Would taking it to the carwash help?

Please help...

Thanks in advance.

Mine started to do the same thing. I thought it was due to a colder weather, bcs it didn't make any sound in the summer. On my friends A4 he had to change the bushings on the control arm and steering arm. On my moms Towncar, I just used some motor oil to lubricate them and the sound went away.

 

that happened to me.
its in the wheel , the joint that comes self lubricated is lacking the lubractaion.
what sucks is that you cant self lubricate it yourself, you need to order the joint from acura that comes lubracted already. brought it to the shop an dthey fixed it no more squeks.

 

Thanks for the responses, I took the tire off and cleaned and lubed the bushings and the sound went away and hasn't come back for the past 100+ miles. Did notice one of the bushings was becoming cracked so I'll have to take care of that one of these days.
