QUESTION: First, thanks for your time and response. Re the squeaking noise, it only occurs as I drive and it seems to be solely in the left front area. When they installed the tires, i noted that they placed two hand operated "jacks" under the front of the automobile. I am wondering if the placement of one of the jacks was incorrect and resulted in the squeaking. ???  Again, thanks for your time

Answer
John, I can't help you unless you answer my questions.

1. Is the car disk or wire wheel?

2. Is the noise any different going fast or slow?

3. Does the noise change when you turn left?

4. Does the noise change when you turn right?

5. Does the noise change when you apply the brakes?

You first have to find the noise and correct it, then that information can lead you to what caused it.

Give me 5 answers to the above 5 questions. I can't see or hear the car so you are going to have to be my eyes and ears.
