my car would squeak when i would turn hard right and back to straight position, but it sounded like a high pitched metal rubbing metal...so yesterday i figured i would give it one more look to see if I could see a problem...then all of a sudden I glanced and noticed that the front rotor dust shiled was pretty close to the bottom knuckle ball joint where the knuckle connects to the LCA....I noticed the cotter pin through the nut at that joint , the tips of the cotter where bent in toward the dust shied so that each time I turn the cotter pin would scrape across that metal dust shield.... so the quick fix is I bent the cotter ends back around the opposite direction and so far when I drive I have heard no more loud squeaking metal

I hope I help some of you guys.

Hmmm...maybe I have the same problem. I will check that out tonight when I change my oil/tranny fluid. I do have that problem and it's really annoying I also have a rattle coming from the rear right of my car, you got a fix for that too? somehow I think its something with my exhaust/heatshields...
