just recently had Both my left from upper control arms, Both outer tie rod ends, Both inner tie rod ends and my exhast flex pipe replaced in my 1998 1.8t passat GLS 2 weeks ago for $1300.00 at an independent shop.

Today I noticed a squeaking noise coming from my drivers side tire when I turn the stearing wheel to the right and when I go over bumps. Could it be that the tie rod end needs some lubrication or should i bring it back to the shop and have them look at it?

Also, im guessing most shops will look at something like this for free since it was just all done not even a month ago (I hope).

Thanks in advance for your response.
