Just noticed this today but in park when i turn the wheel it sweaks and when i hit bumps on the road the right side makes the same noise?It doesnt sound like metal so i'm hoping maybe its just some bushings.
My car is dropped 1.8" on stock struts.

Dude im having the same exact problem. I jacked up the front of the car and noticed that the tie rods are bad and have some play in em.


Im gonna fix this a.s.a.p. as soon as i clean out the garage. It'll be an easy thing to do but then i gotta get another wheel alignment right after.

yea, just changed mine liek a week ago. when i would put my car in reverse to park it, i would hear a "bang" when i would turn the wheel all the way to one side and then bring it back. turned out it was my inner te rod, so i just change all of them, teh inners and outters.

My shock is blown and that made to much strain on the lower ball joint so now thats broke.

I got the same exact problem on the pass side. Fairly positive its one of my ball joints, however i wont change a damn thing until the wheel stops turning. My temp solution was to poke a hole and fill with more greese, that shutup the squeek.

I also have no boot on that sides axle =D it ripped off and took the greese with it...but she still rolls!

I have the exact same squeaking, though ive recently had my ball joints replaced and i cant find the f'ing noise. every little bump causes a damn squeak in the passenger side. what the hell?

ball joints and tie rods are usually the culprits.

jack up the front end and remove the tire on the side that squeeks. Start it up and have a friend turn the wheel back and forth while u listen to find exactly what ball joint is squeekin like crazy...
