Squeaking noise when making a right turn

Everytime I take a right turn the left front side of my car makes kinda like a squeaking/squishy sound. I can clearly hear with my windows all the way up. I thought it was my strut mount and replaced that today but it still does the noise. Only happens when I'm making a sharp right turn. The sound comes from the left side only. Can it be a ball joint or even my front sway end link?

Re: Squeaking noise when making a right turn

Is there a way I can check if the wheel bearing is bad?

jack the car up so the wheel is off the ground, grab the tire with both hands and try to turn it left and right, and try to move it up and down, left and right, in and out, in every way possible....it should NOT MOVE AT ALL if the bearing is good....if there is any free play in any direction the bearing is shot

Re: Squeaking noise when making a right turn

I checked wheel bearing this morning and did what you said by moving the wheel and well the wheel didnt move but the car shook left and right lol. So thank god its not the wheel bearing. One thing I noticed this morning was it happens over little bumps too like sewer tunnels. It also happens when im up halfway my driveway and I got a video of it.

I was just pushing the car from the front and it would make the noise.

Re: Squeaking noise when making a right turn

Gonna second the C/V joint problem. Don't let this slide. I had a similar sound going on and decided I would wait a month if I could drive carefully and not push it on those turns. By the time I got to it, the problem compounded and I needed to replace a lot more than the C/V joint.
