Im getting a sqeaking kinda noise that seems to be coming from the front right tire. It only happens (at slow speeds) when the motor goes from pushing to pulling i guess is a good way to explain it. I hear it the most when in first gear and a lightly push the pedal, as soon as the motor is putting power to the wheel it "squeeks". then if i left off to allow the motor to slow me down, it "squeeks" again. no brakes or anything. Just letting off or pressing the gas pedal. It does feel like there is a little play in it though. When i let off the pedal its not an exact instant response. It might be 1/10 of a second or so... If im not explaining this accurate enough let me know... My suspision is has been the strut as it is the original (or so the previous owner said) from factory strut that has about 240K on it.

(I do occasionally drive a little hard but who doesnt have fun once in a while)

Thanks for the help.

First off, you are still on your original struts with 240K on it??? That needs to change ASAP to isolate your problem. Also, check your engine and tranny mounts. IMO, you need an entire front end suspension replacement before you continue with this issue any further.

Well i have fairly new axels a ball joints from when i had the transmission replaced a little over a year ago... I just think the struts are bad. We arent 100% positive they are the originalls or not but i have a hunch.... lol

What's up man, I can't remember your real name but I remember your car. Anywayz it could be the wheel bearing. A slight squeaking noise, at times its hard to tell if it is rubber or metal squeaking.
