Two issues I'm dealing with...
 
I've got a couple issues I'm trying to figure out:

1: Every time I turn a moderately sharp left (slow or fast), I get a "chirp, chirp, chirp" noise from the left front wheel. The frequency of the chirp is directly speed related. I'm hoping it's not the bearing.

2: Maybe everyone's 8 does this, but over random expansion joints, small bumps etc, my front suspension sounds like it's from a 1940's panel wagon. My endlinks and swaybar-to-frame mounts are all tight, as is the rest of the suspension, from what I can tell. I can't find anything loose that is flopping around. But it sounds "weighty", if that makes sense. Sometimes it's loud enough that people outside the car actually turn to look at what's making all that noise. I'm really kind of at a loss as to what it could be. It's definitely the front suspension, I just don't know exactly what the problem is.

Any clue on either problem 1 or 2?

Thanks

Your alignment could be off which could be causing the chirping in the front. When was the last time you took the car in for an alignment and balance? Just a thought

Another thought would be control arm bushings.
