Squeaking Noise on front right wheel
I recently took my 2007 STR for alignment and right after that I started to hear a squeaking noise coming from the right front wheel. The noise is prevalent when riding at a slow speed over little bumps.But on the highway at faster speeds I barely hear it..I'm hearing from a mechanic I might need to replace the control arm but to me it looks fairly in good condition..Can anyone offer me advice on what they think the problem might be??

More than likely the alignment tweaked a bushing or two into a new position and has to wear in.....usually the alignment tech checks all that for excessive wear....the only ones that are tough to see are the anti sway bar bushings...they can squeak, but usually clunkk....if you are not having any steering pulls or wobbles, you should be ok....if you really want to get rid of the squeak, you can pull the wheels off and spray silicone lube on all the rubber bushings.... can't hurt....visually inspect all bushings for rot, excessive bulging and even missing rubber...do you do any repairs yourself, by the way
