Just to verify : so the noise i hear when i turn my wheels at a dead stop sounds like a spring or something getting pinched down is normal? saw some other people talking about it and ive had that but not since out of the box just fora few months.

I haven't heard the sound since I left the tire shop. Lets hope I don't hear it again. The suspension feels tight with no body roll. The guys at Les Schwabb said the entire suspension looked and felt brand new. I have no idea what it was now. There were no rocks in the suspension. Who knows.

I have that happen to me many times. I live in a place where they put little rocks on the roads during winter then those rocks get in and make that loud clunking sound.
FIX:
Take it to a car wash, turn the wheels all the way to the left and then spray the crap out of the left strut (top, middle and buttom). I do this once a week and it always works. The only weird thing is it doesn't happen on the right side.

Squeal? Most new brake pad has a little metal piece inside that when your brakes get low and reach the metal it starts to hit the rotor causing a squeal.
