my car is a 90 crx si with 250,000 miles on the chassis,

recently it makes a squeaky noise as i am turning the steering wheel towards the left, usually when going slower speeds, such as manoevering around a parking lot and stuff like that, it sounds like its coming from somewhere around the shock/spring assembly & upper control arm area in the wheel well, above the tire,

my friend who is a mechanic was looking at it as i turned the wheel and i did too, and it all looks good ?, and i tried to spray some silicone lube around the area but did'nt get rid of the noise?,

what do you think could cause a squeaky noise like that when turning the wheel to the left ???, bushings ?, damaged spring ? etc . . .

the shocks and springs were installed in 2003, they are kyb-gr2 and H&R softsport OE springs (.75" drop), so they have been used 11 years and probably time to replace with new ones.

suspension shop did work couple years ago, replaced all the bad stuff needing replacement, such as control arms, balljoints, etc . .., but never replaced the upper control arms or upper balljoints, at the time they said they were still ok,

not sure if the new lower control arms they put on came with new bushings or if they just used my old ones ? i also never put new sway bar bushings for the front ?

also i saw another guy who made a post about squeaking noise while turning, and turned out his was solved after replacing the bushing that is between the top of the shock and the body, and another guy solved his noise by replacing his control arm bushings,

your opinions would be appreciated, thanks

Hmm I have similar issues. Curious to know why.
