Annoying squeak
I have this really annoying squeak in my car that I am not sure what it is. It happens when I accelerate or start slowing down. It also happens on turns or even if I am at a stand still and just turn my wheel a little it makes this annoying squeaking sound. It is loud too and everyone around me looks at me like my car is falling apart lol. So could any of you guys please tell me what I need to do to get this crap fixed please!!! If needed I can make a video. Thanks

RE: Annoying squeak
any squealing or squeaking is more often then not created by rubber, like control arm bushings, sway bar bushings, etc... ball joints as well.
either dried out old ones or improperly torqued new ones

RE: Annoying squeak
no its not the belt or power steering. I can feel it in the steering wheel. And I just replaced the belt. Another symptom is that when I am on the highway the steering wheel shakes vigourously left and right. It is actually pretty annoying. I also find that if I have to stop hard it pulls to the one side. Someone has got to know why my car is being dumb. I took it into the shop and got the tires balanced and then he tighened my steering rack for me. It did help somewhat but it isn't fixed and its making me mad because I drive highway everyday and I feel as if my arm just had a vibrating massage or something.....HELP PLEASEEEEEE

sounds like a balljoint or strut mount to me.
