Front End Squeak/Clanking Noise
Hello everyone,
I've been hearing some squeaking and clanking noises coming from the front end on the driver side of my 2015 G550. The noise has progressively worsened over time. Now, I can hear the squeaking from inside the car while driving straight at any speed, especially when the road is uneven. If I go over bumps or potholes with the windows open, I also hear a small clanking noise.
Additionally, I can feel a slight sensation in the steering wheel whenever the squeaking or clanking occurs. I'm wondering if this issue might be related to the springs or shocks, or if it's more likely a driveshaft problem. It seems to only be affecting the driver side.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Mike

A few options on this - I chased a few similar....
- Swaybar bushings...
- Slop or slack in steering box
- low fluid or bad Steering stab.
- wheel bearings / axle halfshafts
- shock bushing ( my case at 92 on OEM shocks)
