help on stoping a very annoying squeak

[mppaintball]

So now that it has been sunny and warm out my car has redeveloped that annoying squeak. It does it whenever i turn the stearing wheel, when i am driving, and if i am pushing up and down on the front drivers side quarter panel. I was told it was a bushing so i lubed up all the ones i would find with some silicone spray and it seemed to help but its still there. Whenever i turn the stearing wheel basicly. Does anyone know how to fix this? I would really appreciate it.

No idea, but i solved my recent front end noise by changing the ball joint. It sounded like metal on metal when turning the wheel.. coming to a stop or hitting bumps.

hmm... could be a number of things. Has any of the suspension been replaced? (especially: front struts, ball joints, control arm bushings)

Did you check to see if your wheel had any movement whatsoever when you had your car off the ground?

Nope, but the guy said my ball joint was about to break off. He replaced it and the sound has been gone ever since.

The reason i ask is because with a ball joint going bad, is you need to check your wheel hub bearing also.

what do you mean by wheel movement when the car is off the ground? Also the sqeaking goes away when it is all rainy if that helps

Well water made my squeaking go away also, but that didnt solve anything. Once it dried back up the problem was gone. Just have your ball joints checked =]
