Loud squeak when turning right
My car has rather suddenly started to have a loud squeak which I'm having trouble tracking down. The noise is loudest when I turn the wheel to the right, with some noise when turning left and the wheels are still pointed right, and no noise at all when the wheels are pointing left.
I replaced the swollen rubber swaybar bushings with delrin ones thinking they might be the cause, but no luck. The ball joints were rebuilt maybe 1.5 years ago and showed no sign of cracked boots or missing grease. The right front brakes make some noise, but the squeaking is just as loud when the car is stationary as when it's moving. The steering rack is a rebuilt unit with a few years of use with boots in good condition and doesn't seem to leak any fluid.
I'm at a loss for what the cause is. Any suggestions to check before taking it to a shop?
