Default Bad squeaking sound

had a bad squeakin problem on front drivers side and tried many things to stop it. replaced many parts and the squeak would go away then come back

new struts
new axles
new upper and lower strut bushings(OEM)
camber kit(skunk 2 control arms)
alignment

squeak goes away after replacin the parts.. then comes back in a week or so. wtf can be the problem. slight to very very bad and loud. does havin my power steering disconnected have anythign to do with it. i bought the car off a kid who already lowered it. do u think he could have cut the springs instead of buying lowering springs? drivin me insane.

both..
when i drive and brake

i can be at a complete stop and turn the wheel.. and u hear like a rubber soundin squeak..

could something be too tight or too loose..
one thing i relized when i looked at the strut towers is that the front dirvers side has about 3 threads at the top of the struts (in engine bay) and the pass. has about 4 or 5 threads sticking out from the nut. the drivers side sits lower(or just mishaped aftermarkey fenders) and the pass front is a lil higher.

does anyone have springs or coilovers for sale.. please let me know.

what suspension are you runing? i remember i had coliovers on stock dx suspension, and eventually it would start to squeak. It might just be time to get a whole new suspension set up

update..

sqeak is hella bad now.
got my girl friend to turn the wheel why i looked through the rim to try to find the problem.

it sounds like metal scraping together and coming from the brake, tie rod, or steering column. any sugestions of what it could be.. anyone else ever have this prob
