My car is making a squeaking sound when I turn or when it hit bumps. It only happens at certain speeds ( mainly low to medium speeds) and does not happen when I am going straight. I have replace the shocks within the last three months and it got better but now it seems to be steadily getting worse, especially after I had the tires changed recently

Hi Anthony,

From what you describe sounds like the wheel bearing is going bad. Can you tell what side the sound is coming from?

Is it louder turn to the right or left or does it remain the same?

Other possibilities are.

The Control Arm Bushing

or

Stabilizer Bushing

To check these you can take a can of spray lube and spray the control arm bushings and test drive. If sqeaking is gone then will need to replace those bushings.

If sqeaking still present do same with Stabilizer Bushing.

If sqeaking still present then most likely its the wheel bearing.
