Well I have this squeaking/creeking noise coming from my left front wheel. It's sensitive to speed in the manor that it gets faster as the wheel turns faster, however if I depress my brakes a good amount, or make a RIGHT turn, it goes away and comes back as soon as I let off the brakes or straighten the wheel out. It started a few days ago, but would go away after a little while, now it just stays. I'm thinking a bearing or something, but i'm really not good with suspension, it's the one thing i've never worked with so if someone could point me in the right direction of where to start looking i'de appreciate it very much!

wheel bearings, ball joints... I'm trying to think..

Ive got a squeak in my rear end, but only when I make turns, and I belive my rubber spring isolators are giving up the ghost...

make sure you don't have excessive wheel bearing play allowing rotor to tilt in and contact the backing plate ever so slightly

Well I just went and jacked the car up and spun the wheel. It seems while it's just hangin and has no load on it, it doesn't make the noise. Does that help narrow it down any?

grab the top of the tire and the bottom with the other hand and wiggle it in and out to feel for play

^^^Tried that, there actually wasn't any play. Idk. I wish this car would at least have quick easy to diagnose problems. lol

check the sway bar links and make sure they haven't broken on either side
