Hey guys
I know that there are a few threads regarding this issue, I just don't have the time to look for them right now. I have a horrible squeak coming from the front suspension, and am completely lost as to what is causing this. really what I am asking, is that if any of you guys had this problem, and got it fixed, what part of the suspension was it that you needed to replace? and for anyone's input, what do you think could be the problem?

Thanks in advance!
Chris

If your not sure what it is, you can spray a lubricant on one thing at a time on the front end until it quits. Then fix or replace it.

What noise are you hearing and when?

I had a really loud squeel, and it turned out to be the wheel bearing. Had to replace the whole assembly.

I had it done by a local mechanic and the hub was $265.00 and the labor was $65.
