Where to begin. How to explain. Well, I shall try my best.
I have a squeak from the front passenger side of the vehicle, by the tire (I believe). First off, things I have tried:
1) grease/lube every joint and even used some zep 45 lubricant on the strut/shock spring and joints.
2) jack up car and jerk back and forth on wheel in every which way, no squeak at all.
3) with car on ground push down on top of fender over and over, no squeak at all.
It is an intermittent squeak, however, it does it 90% of the time when I take off (and does it louder the more I drop the clutch or if I do a on purpose unsmooth jumpy take off like beginners do when they are learning a manual). It will also do it SOMETIMES when I drive down my parents dirt road and go over all the bumps. It will squeak squeak squeak, then a week later, same bumps, no squeak. Sometimes when slowing down it will do it or going around a turn but those are more rare. Also when I was driving 85mph on a long trip it was doing it here and there with cruise on. Does not matter if a/c is on or not. New tires, balanced, aligned. Drives great. Squeaks anytime I take off from what sounds like the front passenger tire. I've tried to get under it and wiggle everything possible with no success. Car has 34k miles on it, 00' ws6 6 speed. Hoping one of you geniuses might have an idea of where to start. Thanks!
