My vehicle listed above makes loud chirping noise on passenger side while driving, and at the same time if the road has any type of bumps or what not the, makes loud squeaking, rumble noise, whatever it is it is metal. If roads are bad, its sounds like something is going to fall off. It's almost kinda scary at same time.

Can you get a video of this noise so that we can hear it? First and foremost I suspect this is a wheel bearing and if it sounds this loud then we need to make it a priority to get it fixed because it can do more damage the longer it goes.

Here is a guide that will help with this as well:

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/bearing-hub-replacement

Below you will find the process on how to replace the hub bearings from the manual but if you can get a recording of it we can try and confirm this.

Also, can you get the noise to start happening and then swerve back and forth and see if it gets louder and quieter. If so then that is usually always a bearing.

Let us know and we can go from there. Thanks

Thank you for responding. Yes I can get a video of it.
If I go right 2 left/ left 2 right. Either way it doesn't make it better or worse driving down freeway ( chirping, heavy rattling). Bumpy roads, yes, just try 2 go over them slowest as possible.
Suspension in regards of that, I do know.

Okay. Hearing will help because that could be a bearing but I am not so sure anymore but more of a suspension or even a brake noise. Thanks

I have had the brakes replaced already. Reading about other peoples issues, the tire rod, control arms, struts, are common issues with the vehicle apparently.

Yes. That is all part of the suspension/steering system and they put off distinct noises so is it possible to get a recording of it? If not, I am just guessing at what it could be or you will have to jack up the front tires and shake down the front end.

Sorry, but I don't think it attached. Just make sure you are on a good internet signal and then try attaching it again. Thanks because anything will help.
