Default Very annoying sqeak.

Hey guys and girls,

My S3 XR8 seems to have picked up a hideously annoying sqeak in the front end. The facts are:

1. It only appears to effect the RH side of the car.
2. It happens when you go over a bump in the road, or climb into or outta thee car.
3. It happens the entire time you turn the steering wheel. i.e if i was to steer from lock to lock it would sqeak all the way.
4. It sounds like it is definatley something rubber moving. (really narrows it down hey, lol)

Now this only just started about 1 week ago. And its loud to the point it can be heard from inside the car during normal urban driving.

Please help as it is driving me insane.

Sway bar D-bushes? Easy and cheap to replace.

Does it happen in the wet? Could be dry suspension bushes/rubbers. Replace or spray brake fluid onto them.

spray the hose in the suspension one corner at a time , then you can track down roughly where to start
