Noises from engine wheel area please take a look.

There is a knocking sorta sound from front of car more towards the wheels i think. The noise seems to come when im turning the wheel, and sometimes over bumps. Also today when i parked my car i got out in it made this sqeek noise, my wheel was turned to the left. Soi turned it straight and nothing. I hate freaking noises, i have sprints and kybs if that helps. CAn being low hurt oem parts that arnt made for the car to be droped, like is an axel gonna break or something weird. Any thing you guys got will help thanks.

Wheel bearings?

This sounds alot like my old problem. My wheel bearings(both sides) went bad and started with a little noise and grad turned into a loud grinding noise. I believe if you jack up your car, you can check your bearings by trying to shake the wheel itself. Not rotate it, but shake it. Not sure exactly, maybe someone else has the exacts - Hope this helps -

Did you replace your front strut bearings when you put on your new springs?
