Not exactly sure, the car is a 96 ex coupe. The car doesn't make any noise when turning, just when cruising straight? It sounds like it is coming from the front for sure, not sure on which side though. Are there wheel bearing in the front? Does this sound like a wheel bearing issue?

All wheels have wheel bearings from what I can remember. Please correct me if I am wrong. It very well could be. CV joint's make a ticking, but only when turning. Jack your car up and take a good look around the front suspension. Could be something else.

 

wheel bearings usually don't squeak, its more of a rubbing, grinding noise. IMO, It's probably a blown shock or suspension bushing.

 

Hmm I doubt it's a blown shock or else he would have mentioned it but highly doubt that's the problem... Are the noises fairly loud and can you be more descriptive as to where the sound might be coming from?

He might not know its blown. in my experience thats the #1 cause of squeaks like that. if you jack up that corner of the car, how far down does the wheel hang?
