My Limited has developed a noticeable squeak when turning left. Turning right is fine. Any ideas?

 

Might be this.

Summary:
SQUEAKING SOUND FROM FRONT SUSPENSION.

 

Don't make any LEFTHAND turns !!! Ahhhhh, you knew someone would be a wise A$$ !

 

Yeah, don't race in NASCAR

 

Where does the noise sound like it's coming from? Wheel area / Engine bay / Cabin ?

 

Thanks for the replies (mostly... ). It sounds like it's coming from the right front wheel.

 

Is it a brake squeal? My roadster was making a squeal when turning right. I found that I use very light braking pressure to keep brake dust to a minimum. In my case, a good hard stop or two will re-seat the brake pads and stops the squeal for a while.

If this is it, you will notice the squeal will stop if you slightly depress the brake pedal while making your turn.

Hope that is all it is...

 

Possible slight warp in the rotor? Do you feel any vibration when braking?

 

I don't feel any vibration when braking. The squeaking doesn't seem related to the brakes. It is intermittent and I haven't figured out the pattern yet other than it only occurs when turning left.

I took the car to the dealer. The mechanic checked the suspension and brakes and said it all looked good. I drove around the lot with him and, of course, the car behaved perfectly. He did find a valve cover leak that was dripping oil. He ordered a part and I'll be taking the car back next week for that. I almost hope the squeaking becomes more regular and louder just so he can hear it!

 

Check for tire rub on the wells. Hard for me to imagine a rub would squeak, but ya never know
