squeaking supesion area Problem

Hi guys I have a problem, when I ride over an but i hear a squeakin coming from the front left suspension area , if i push down on the car over the left front end of the car I hear a creak and last but not least after I park and the car begins to lower itself I hear a creak noise the whole time until it lowers it is completely lowered, So what could the problem be? I had the upper and lower control arms replace under warranty but that didnt fix the problem and I be going back to the stealership but I want to have an idea of what they should check????

I assume that you are new to these types of forums.
So, when posting it is good to have a subject line that gives a clue of what your issue is. That way when others are reading the subject lines or searching they can help you out or it can help them on a search.

Imagine if everyone used the subject line of "Problem"? We all know its a problem that's why you are asking here.

I hope you get your problem fixed. There are many people on this forum that can help and have knowledge about your issue "Problem".

If you are still under warranty just bring it back to the dealer and tell them try again.

ASSUME=*** OUT OF YOU AND ME not new to the forums, but Im not sure exactly what the problem is so I cant say for example"problem with ball joints", because I dont know if thats the problem thats why I just wrote "problem" . i didnt want to limit people from viewing the thread. And if you do a search it wont just search for the title of the thread but it searches the information inside the thread also....Thankyou

Are there any mods on this site that want to address the issue of what is a proper subject line in a post?

already done 'em? I dunno....its ALWAYS ft. low balljoints for the front squeekies bro. mabe they only did one side...if its not the lower bj's then I am at a loss. As long as your car has not been wrecked or worked on by a carnival maintenance crew I seriously recomend you MAKE SURE both FRONT LOWER BALLJOINTS were BOTH replaced because that is your problem

I always take it to the dealership, but when I take it again I will have them double check ball joint, suspension, and the struts. Any other ideas of what it could be?

if it ends not being the lower bj's then it really could be anything...the ft. thrust (caster arm) bushings and ft. lower control arm bushings are both frequent repairs... however not usually for squeek issues. If you had the work performed at the dealership I suggest you take it back to them and *****.

You guys were correct it turned out to be the ball joint and lower control arm(was rusty). Thanks
