Default left front end squeaking

Hello,

I have a strange squeaking on the driver side front wheel area every time i go over a bump.

This happened two days after going down a very bad dirt road.

is it likely i buggered up the suspension or could it be a grease issue?

any help is very appreciated.

Regards,
Blazernoobie

Default i think i might have your answer

sounds like a tie rod end or a wheel hub bearing assemly. both pretty easy to fix but the hub needs torque.

You can spray the bushings with some lithium grease to see if that quiets down the sound. It likely will only be temporary if it does anything, but it will allow you to determine where the sound is coming from.
