squeaks coming from front end of car
i am hearing squeaking noise coming from the front of my car. is not always there. if i don't drive my car for a couple then the sound is gone when i start driving it again but as the car warms up the squeaks gets louder and more more frequent. anyone know what it could be?

If it's the common reason.. its from the sway bar bushings.. This is a common problem with C32's if you search you will find more info. I had mine replaced, also the thrust arms, bearings... etc.. The original bushings are total crap and will wear out which is why the replacement is also an upgrade..
Good luck.. hope you are under warranty..

ha. mine did that exactly after a hard right turn on a warm day. I thought something was gonna fall off as I heard loud creaks running over minor speed bumps and broken pavement.
Of course, this brings up my "bounce your car" test to inspect the exact location of the noise ... When you try to shake your car after it's parked, can you hear fuel hitting against the sides of the fuel tank? Sounds odd but a family's E doesn't make that noise under the same conditions. Bizarre or normal?
