Squeak/squeal when turning right?
Hey all, recently discovered an issue in my suspension, I'm getting a squeaking/squealing sound when I turn the wheel, but only when I turn right. Recently, I've replaced:
Control arms
Control arm bushings
Control arm ball joints
Struts
Tierods
Sway Bar linkages
Sway Bar bushings
Camber/Caster Plates
Brake Calipers
and those haven't fixed the issue. I'm running the LS Big Brake kit, and after rebuilding the brake calipers, that didn't fix the issue either. I haven't dug into any of the steering hydraulics or the steering gearbox from factory (~50k miles on the system), so I don't think that could be causing it, plus it sounds more like a metallic grinding sound that only happens when the wheels are turning. Any ideas of what it could be? I'm kinda running out of ideas here.

Ended up rebuilding the hubs, found out that they hadn't been preloaded properly, and I believe that solved the issue. That or replacing the sheetmetal brackets on the brake calipers, but either way, no more squeaking/squealing!
