Hit a bad pothole, now there’s an occasional cricketlike sound coming from engine bay
I was going about 35-40 when the passenger side hit a knarly pothole. Later that night the car was kinda bumpy ( not just from the roads) and the next day this weird, squeaking noise occurs sometimes. First it was just on the passenger side but now I can hear it while driving. Ac compressor? Suspension?

Gnarly pothole at that speed....list of what I would be looking at:
1.) Damaged Tire
2.) Damaged Rim - even if you can't see, may be out of round
3.) Alignment out of whack
I hit a bad one the first week I owned my TL. Cost me a new tire, new rim, and an alignment all before I had even made a single car payment.
As for the squeak? It really could be anything at this point. You will need to narrow down some more details before I can even guess on it. Brakes, heat shield, AC, squirrel caught in belt, etc....
