Das Geld 2

Ok, The diagnosis is when I exited my car I heard a very loud squeal almost a shriek outside. I assumed it was someone fire alarm going off or some siren. It's very quiet and piercing I begin to inspect why its only around my car and I hear it coming from the passenger wheel well. After 2-3 min it went away and then I heard a hiss like leaking air for 5 min until that side of the car sank on its wheel.

Is my strut bad? or where is the noise coming from the air lines or the strut itself. I turned car back on and it rose. After that it sank in 4-5 minutes and when I went to pull the battery so pump doesn't stick , the pump started blasting on I ran to the front turned the car off and pulled the relay real quick.

What is the issue, do I need a new strut or is it possible something got dislodged? That squeal was a very high pitch and tone. Just like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BX7Ar...eature=related.

Oki, I took wheel off and I inspected the strut it seems its hanging on by a thin little piece and fully disconnected from the frame(control Arm). Is this where the air is leaking from? I circle it in red the part, on my car this piece is fully not attached.

Ok, I just inspected car all 3 sides rise when I push raise, the passenger front side is just hissing air and doesn't go up. I'm guessing it needs New strut replacement.

Correct. Suggest getting both fronts since they typically fail near the same time as each other.
