Default ?HELP?Sqeeking Click Clack Sounds?HELP?

Oh man!! these noises are driving me up the wall.
1st. When I drive I hear this squeeking sound from my front driver side tire....
Anyone know what would be making that noise (ball-joint)?

2nd. Then when I brake I hear a clicking sound coming from my passanger side front tire.
Anyone know about that one ( brake pads need changing) ?

3rd. When I turn left or right steering feels chunky and I hear clicking.... that would be my axel telling me to change it or control arm?

#1 could be worn brake pads rubbing on thier warning tabs.

#3 could be the steering rack or tie-rod ends.

All of 'em could be different things. Gotta inspect parts & we can't do that from here. You have to take off the wheel & look at the suspension to tell the difference.

Clicking from the from the front end, especially while turning is classic for worn out CV joints

jack up your car and see if the ball joint look like this


if it isn't sitting flush like it should, then get that control arm replaced asap unless you want your wheel to fall off or get locked up at a 100 degree angle while driving.
otherwise, my guess is the cv boot

joint... the CV joint.... the boot is just a piece of rubber that covers the joint and holds the grease in.
