Default Name that noise!

I'll do my very best to explain the noise, its fairly simple. I just recently started hearing it. its a pretty loud sqeek coming from the driverside front. It sqeeks when I go over bumps, and also if I am sitting still/ slow roll and cut my wheel to the left it sqeeks! However it does not sqeek if I cut the wheel to the right. Its the most annoying thing in the world, i dont even want to drive my damn car, any help would be great! Its a 2003 GT btw thanks

like i expained in another thread, i believe to have this same problem, and ive posted on two different boards, and it SEEMS that it might be a bushing. my PS fluid is good, and no leaking, so thats kind of what ive narrowed it down too. havent gotten in there yet tho, so it is still speculation.

my brother had the same problem on his 94 gt. It occured when u turned it left. this was so damn loud it was embarassing to drive. He simply got fed up with it and greased everything he posssibly could under the frontend mainly the strut's. the problem went away after that. he really could not figure out what exactly it was he greased to fix the problem.

thanks.............hotrod11us

is not power steering. VitaminE thats exactly it, the car can be off, and you can wiggle the wheel and it makes it, its soooooo embarassing it makes my car sound like a POS, very very aggrivating. If I remember correctly I dont think there are any grease fittings on the front end, or maybe there was just 1? I dont know... any other ideas anyone?

thanks
