Default Front Suspension chirp sound help

Hey guys,

Have any of you guys had this problem with a chirping sound in the front suspension? It's been happening for a couple weeks, and i thought it was something in the interior so i started tapping on plastic panels to find it but could not locate it. I looked on youtube and found this


The first part where he grabs the rim and shakes it, it sound like that without the lower pitched squeek. Only the chirp is noticeable when driving(in motion). I have not lifted the car up and tried to shake the wheel yet.

If you think you have an fairy good idea of what it is please let me know!

thanks,
Steven

@Micvelo, @Travlee where you guys @? I Know someone knows exactly what this sound is coming from. I didn't get a chance to get the car up in the air yet, but i did a light kick to the tires and it did recreate that noise.

I'd start by inspecting your control arm bushings or your wheel bearing. Hard to tell with the camera pointed vertically since the image comes out so small and it's shaking around so much. Can you have a friend hold the camera while you shake the wheel side to side and up and down?
