On my way to work today I started hearing a loud squeaking, I think in the right front suspension, when I make turns go over bumps or brake hard. If I push down on the right front, same squeaking. It is pretty loud and not brake related. I would like to see if anyone has any suggestions before I take it in. I would prefer to do the work myself if I can figure out the problem. ..



Anyone have any suggestions or questions that can help to figure it out?



Thanks.

Shocks, Sway bar, Some moving point is squeaking...

Ball joints, I'd wager. It sounded like that when they started to go on my 2001.



Isn't there a ball joint TSB for the 2001's?
 
I do not have any vibration while driving, and I have been driving with the noise for two days. Would that rule out the ball joints?



It is definitly on the passenger side and a loud almost grinding squeak.



I am leaning towards shocks and/or sway bar and brushings. Are there any tests I can do to check?



Again thanks for the help.
