Hi guys- I'm having an issue with my GSX. It started squeaking after Saturday test day. It's coming from the left front of the car. It's when i turn the steering wheel from left to right, right to left. It happens in neutral and when i'm driving.

I jacked the car up and took the front wheel off. I started car without the front wheel on and moved the steering wheel. I could barely hear the squeak if at all anymore. I then put the jack under the lower ball joint and lowered the jack to the approximate height of the car as if the wheel was on. Turned the wheels. I could faintly hear the squeak.

I put the tire back on and took the jacks out. Squeak, squeak. I can't really pinpoint it. I rock the tire back and forth and it's solid. Doesn't feel like it's a wheel bearing or anything. Tie rod feels just the same as the passenger side. It's a pretty loud squeak.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
