Default Sqeak Sqeak Sqeak!!!!!

HI

I need help on what to do with this noise before i push my car into a river cos its driving me INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a sqeak that comes from the left side wheel when i turn it - not all the time - mostly when i just turn it just off straight n turn it back. Some times it does it more, Sometimes not at all. I got someone to sit n twiddle the wheel n tried to find where it is coming from, i think it might be the arm that pushed the wheel from the steering rack, im thinkin maybe a worn seal or something along those lines.

Dont let my crappy diagnostic skills sway wot you think tho. has any one else had this problem???

HELP --- or the car gets it [&o]

oh yeah and ita a 94 civic hatch, 1.5 lsi
cheers yo

I would have said wheel bearing, except those usually grind when they go out as opposed to squeak.

twiddle... I like that word.

You got any aftermarket parts on there you want to get rid of before it sleeps with the fishes?

well idk id experiment with some WD-40 and see if it helps.........could it be a bad brake rotor and pad? when they go bad they may stop squealing and then start when u turn the wheel. Its not likely but could be a possibility.

tire rod end is dry? he said that when someone moves the wheel he can hear it, so its not going to be brakes or a bearing. rack or tie rod end... mabie ball joint, or uppoer strut mount
