loud squeak from front driver's side suspension... help!!
a few weeks ago i started hearing a squeaking or creaking type sound coming from the front drivers side suspension and it has gotten worse everytime i drive the car... now it's loud as hell and makes that noise the entire time i'm driving... it sounds like somebody rolling around on a really old bed with worn out springs... the car isnt handling as well either, it doesnt seem like its sticking to the road as good (dont know if this has anything to do with the sound or not).. but can u guys give me some input on what this might be? thanks

Your best bet is to get the car up in the air and start examining all your suspension pivot points. Bushings, Springs, rod ends and ball joints. That's really the only way to figure out what is causing the issue.

but i was thinking it's somethin with the ball joint because since this starting its caused some steering/handling issues... the steering wheel wants to jerk left or right randomly and the car is "wandering" all over the road... wasn't like this at all before the squeaking started
