Exclamation Squeaking noise when turning right!?

Hey Guys

I just got back from the tuners a couple days ago and I've notice a weird squeaking noise as if something is loose or the sound as if something is rusted. If I turn the steering wheel to the right ever so slightly it was begin making the noise, turn it even more, the louder it will be. When I slow down and come to a complete stop, then start moving again, the noise will disappear. It seems to only happen on long drives without stopping, for instance on the motorway. I am on coilovers.

Any ideas guys?

Michael

What brand of coilovers? What type of thrust bearings do they use, open roller types or the sealed kind?

Try jacking up the car. go to one side(right or left) then move the wheels from left to right. if you hear or feel that there's a movement like loose movement then your tie rod needs to be replaced... up and down then its a ball joint.. now when you spin the wheels and hear a hizzing/grinding sound then its the wheel bearing.
Now when you are driving your car and lets say you turn right and you hear a "tack tack tack....." sound then you axle needs to be replaced..

Thanks man ill try those techniques out. Its almost like a beeping/squeaking sound that's very rapid.

Nah, it will start to squeak on a long straight drive, particularly on the motorway.
