squeaking sound from the left front end of 96 Accord
The left front end of my car (96 Accord; 140K) making squeaking sound. The sound is coming while driving and taking turn or if the road is not even. However, the sound is not continuous. If I am driving straight and the road is smooth then there is no sound.
When I switch off the engine and coming out of the car it creates the sound. If I push the left front end (Note that engine is off) it creates the sound. However, if I push any other corner there is no sound. The sound is coming only from left front end. No matter whether the car is in motion or the engine is switch off. Four months back I changed all the tie rods, left upper ball joint. I tried to pin point from where the sound is coming and it seems the sound is coming from the lower half and back side of the left front wheel.
What would be the possible reasons for this sound? Please tell how to confirm the cause and the solution.
Thank you.

Sounds like you have creaky control arm bushings. If you put the car up and inspect the control arm bushings they will most likely be dry/cranked/worn. You could try greasing the bushing with some bushing grease, replace the bushings, or just live with it. MY car is the same way, creaks when it is cold out over bumps.
