thanks guys. i took it to my friend that has a auto repair shop it turn out to be both the springs rubbing and the front left strut bearing. i picked up a replacement at napa for $66 and hopefully this weekend i will be able to put it on and finally have no noise.

$66 for a strut bearing?! I thought they were around $20? You sure you got the right part?
