I have a creaking and squeaking sound coming from somewhere in the front suspension. This sound is happening when I am driving as well as when I park and get out of the vehicle.


Also, the car seems to ride really heavy in the front an the front tires wear badly.

Hi:

The sound you most likely hear is from the sway bar bushings. They dry out and creak. It could actually be coming from a dry ball joint, but I would have the sway bar checked first.
