Ops, disregard my reply in your other thread....

Now, to help you out as best we can, you should proof read your thread before submitting it. Some of what your saying doesn't make sense so we have to interpret what we think you meant to say. Also be as descriptive as possible. Your car seems to be being pulled all over the road from worn out parts in your steering or front suspension. Take it to a reputable shop around you if you don't feel comfortable doing the work yourself. And your squeak will be directly related to your first problem, worn out bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends, spring isolaters, etc.

So you think the squeak could possibly be my bushing bearings tie rods or ball joints? One of those? And how can I tell if my rotors are bad could that possibly cause a squeak?

Rotors are bad if they are pitted or warped. Most likely that would only cause a noise when brakes are applied. The squeak could be caused from anything. First thing is to drill and tap the broken cross member bolt and replace it. I agree with orange. Take it to someone and have it looked over you didn't say how many miles are on the car but with cars our age it isn't hard to image the ball joints and tie rods are wore out.

The way you described your car being pulled all over the road points to worn front end components, ball joints, tie rod ends, bushings, worn steering rack, etc. Caused from just lack of maintenance. Mostly easy fixes if you can do them yourself, but kinda pricey if you have to take it in.
And the squeak is probably related to one of those worn parts. After rereading your first post, you said it's a constant squeak. Does it go away when you apply the brakes ? Does it get worse on a rough road ? Does it go away when turning left/right ?
And no, rotors don't squeak as they are solidly mounted. But worn caliper parts could cause a squeak. That's why I asked if the squeak goes away when the brakes are applied.

Post back with what you find, good luck
