I have a squeak that is coming from my front left wheel. It only happens when I turn the wheel 45-90 degrees left. It seems more pronounced when the car is leaning through a curve at 40-60 mph. I had the wheel off to check the suspension and the only thing that looked out of place were the bushings on the control arm which were cracked and brittle. I did go to the dealer and they could not duplicate the noise so nothing was done. Anyone have a similar noise? Any thoughts? Thanks

Sorry no.
My front suspension squeaks at low speeds on a bumpy surface. Annoying as hell. I figured it was the bushings. Haven't had time to do anything about it yet though.

It was the infamous hood latch and hood stops. Lube the latch and adjust the stops and the squeaking disappears.

Ah the notorious hood squeek, the only reason I figured it out was I would push down on the fender to try and figure out where it came from and one time I did it with hood open and walla no more squeeking

Dave,, it could be front wheel bearings. Some have had issue.
