Winter brings out the worst in cars

It's that time of the year when cars show all their bad sides. Winter weather is rough on cars and the things wrong with them will show. My car has been making a bad squealing noise from the right front wheel well and my guess is that it's something with the suspension. Any have any suggestions on what I should change? Struts? Springs? or does it just need regreasing ball joints. PLEASE HELP! The noise is embarassing when I'm givin' ladies a ride.

Frozen caliper? After a long ride, touch your front left rim, then your front right rim. If the right is a lot hotter, then the brakes are binding, causing that squeak.
