Well I lifted up the car and was able to shake the wheel with my hands at 3' and 9' on the wheel, but not at 12' and 6'. Ball joint boots have never been replaced, the car has 46k on it and the boots are in good condition still. Fairly confident it is the wheel bearing.
I've had wheel bearings and ball joints both go out. Wheel bearings caused a squeaking noise while driving, anytime the wheels were rotating. When the ball joints go out they squeak whenever the wheels are turned.

Replaced the front wheel bearings, wheel no longer moves when grabbed at 3' and 9'. However still squeeks, but not when brakes are applied. Who knows. Installed the J&M lcas as well, did everything in a record 2.5 hours. The lcas are great for dd, had the same set on my old GT.
However the best mod that I did was apply a liberal amount of velcro (the soft side) behind the radio/ shifter trim area. Stopped all the rattles and creak... I think I used around 6ft.. :shocked:
Anyways, didn't take any pictures of course! lol.
Next on the list is a set of long tubes, but the MACs are on indefinite back order..

The squeaking noise is made by the metal pieces that hold your brake pads in getting weak, I had the same problem on my GT

Negative! The wilwood calipers do not have those, I do know what you're talking about though.
Yes! I can get pictures if you're interested...

Life Update:
Actively looking for a nice set of long tubes (preferably used), other then that just a few maintenance things planes. Redo my calipers and rotors, and hunt down a few rattles on the inside. Head my TOB chirp for a few seconds the other day, with the clutch disengaged.. Will be monitoring that closely..
I would like to snazz up the engine bay by doing a wire tuck, battery relocations, new cam covers and cop covers... Need a little guidance on the wire tuck though..

I am really aiming for a set of MAC's. I have heard that the trans will clear them.. Thoughts?

Thankya! I have been considering going with gloss black rovos durbans opposed to the satin gunmetal.. thought?
I don't know about that, I feel like the gunmetal just works!

I agree with him ^
I think the gunmetal helps set everything off more than black would

I'm still interested in doing a wire tuck, not a major one, just hide things like fuse box etc... Any tips would be or links would be appreciated.. This weekend should be fun installing my headers... should be here Wednesday..
