anybody have any ideas? i've already posted about this once, i think.

but the squeaking has gotten worse and, frankly, it's starting to drive me up the wall. i took it to infiniti and the mechanick who came for a ride along said it could be anything.

it started out as a squeak that only happened while turning left, or, even on the highway on a long sweeping left. now it happens going over a bump and even worse while turning left. it's a high pitched metal/metal kind of squeak. mouse like, in fact. what makes it worse is that i suspect a compund noise from the front where turning the wheel also produces a kind of clicking noise. but mostly the squeak from bumps. i took it to another shop and the guy came and was driving listening the the squeak and deduced that it was something loose in the dash board. my feelings disagree with this diagnosis. the noise is loud, but doesn't sound like from in the dashboard.

is this a suspension thing? a dashboard thing?

i'm still riding stock springs and struts - it's about time to change so i'm thinking that it might alleviate the problem just in changing those. any advice there on what else to change while i'm in there? what is a good setup - i'm looking for a similar, albeit lower ride, to stock with a little more firmness ok.

anyhelp is greatly appreciated.

cheers,

niv

 

Another little piece of history that may or may not shed some light is that after i had noticed the squeak a little i had an incident where i discovered first-hand the dangers of accidently getting armorall type interior polish on the steering wheel. i was moving right to get a round a car that was turning left, when my hands slipped on the wheel and curbed the right front tire hard enough to dent my rim and throw my alignment out of whack. since then the squeaking has gotten worse.
