Squeaking in Front end

I have a 96 civic the front end squeaks like crazy. I changed the control arm because of the upper ball joint. It fixed it and it stopped for a few hours and then started squeaking again. It happens when you turn the wheel and if you push on the fender. Any clue of what it could be?

Re: Squeaking in Front end

Your springs on the struts are likely binding. If they are original they might need an upgrade. If you are just trying to get by for a short while i would not worry about it. If the car is in good shape and you are planning on keeping a couple years i would just go throught the front end and replace everything once. Sucks having to go back in there a few times a year. Go over it all at least and check and then get a front end alignment done.
