See, not familiar with anything like that at all. I might be able to blindly poke around an engine, but I know absolutely nothing about wheels/that setup...

Learn by doing my friend. I had never touched a suspension component before when I changed all my shocks/struts in my driveway with hand tools and jacks.

Thanks guys, that means a lot coming from everyone here.

My first works really sucked, it took a while just to get to this level and I still think I suck. LOL

There are guys on POTN (A canon forum) that never seem like they take a bad photo.

POTN's Transportation thread is always full of impressivly awesome work.

+ 1 Million!

Books, videos and forums can only prepare you so much but getting out there and doing it is the best way to learn and gain that mental/muscle memory.

btw this just sounds like a sqeaking control arm bushing.
This is just another thing that happens when it gets cold outside.

Get under there and spray some white litium grease on either side of the CA bushings.

Do both the pass side, drivers side, sway bar bushings and rack bushings to lube things up really well for winter. May as well hit the rear too.

Good luck with it.

could be your lower ball joints. I have the same thing happen on mine a few months ago. I thought it was the shock or strut but it ended up being the ball joint on the front right... replaced them both and not a squeak since

Would anyone want to buy Comp Cams "lumpy" cam for our cars? 218/226 .5/.5 108* LSA. Tuner says I need to have a LSA of about 114-118* for the M112, so this one wont work.

Thanks guys, I'll try what Neo said and if it continues I'll take it to a shop and maybe get a diagnosis if I don't feel I can figure out what it is myself.

isn't that cam made specifically for N/A, just so it sounds cammed? from what I've seen/heard that cam's more of a show piece than anything

No, it's a decent cam, I think synstergates and rfcsoulja have that one, as well as a guy on a different forum with that cam and a windstar and maybe some other minor stuff that spun 240rwhp and 249rwtq
