Loud squeaky/crackling suspension

I'm new to these threads as well as being a Aura owner. Anyways the past 3 days whenever i sit down in the car the driver side front wheel/ suspension squeaks really bad, also you can push down on the fender and pull up on it and it does the same thing it also does it when turning. I'm lost as to what it could be. Any thoughts or advice would be nice. Thanks

If it matters its all stock 99 TL

I've got the same problem and I had a Honda tech look at it. He said it was a common Honda problem with the lower ball joints.

Turn the wheel one or two inches each way quickly and see if it squeaks. If yes, its ball joints, as that's the exact test the tech did.

Hi,
I have this same problem as well, but on my passenger side. Which part did you change out? The lower ball joint or upper ball joint? Did you use an OEM part?

Thanks in advanced.

Lower Ball joint does the Sound...
Upper Ball joint "clicks" when you turn while driving...

Change both if they are Old, Simple DIY not Expensive.
Do use "MOOG" Aftermarket for Ball Joints.
