guy at the shop said that it was the warning pins on the brakes telling you that they’re almost dead so i had him resurface the brakes. my cv boot was also ripped so he replaced the axle.
its still squeaking from the wheel though, not as loud but still very annoying.
everything the dude did was:
adjust clutch cable
tighten a bunch of bolts on front right suspension
new front right axle
new front brake pads
resurface front brake rotors
im not sure if its a spinning part or what because when the car is off and just sitting there you can push down on the front right fender and hear the squeak…

If you push down on the fender at a stand-still, then obviously it ain’t the brakes. I had this problem before. Check your lower balljoints. Chances are, it’s that. You might want to also check anything with a rubber mount. Things such as the Upper Control Arm, Lower shock rubber thingy (okay, it’s been a while since I helped, so bite me ).
But, my money is on the lower balljoint. It’s out of grease. If it is the case, I suggest changing it rather than re-greasing it. It’s only $30CAD each.
If it’s the lower balljoint, it should only take 30 minutes. 45min. max! I was right there in front of my mechanic watching him do it while talking on the phone at the same time :uhoh:
What your mechanic should do first is isolate the sound. Once it’s on the lift, he should be able to prod around with a crowbar and push things up-and-down and isolate that noise. You can do this yourself if you like.
i found out that its the right tie rod end. i had it replaced a while back cuz i curbed a wheel pretty bad and it bent the original one and i guess they used suck parts cuz its gone bad already.
where is the lower ball joint located for future reference? anyone have a diagram?
