Front suspension noise?

My EVO is making a strange noise when I turn at low speeds and its coming somewherefrom the front. I am sure it is suspension related and am thinking its my endlinks. When it started, I jacked up the car and yanked on my sway bar to see if there was going to be alot of play and turned out there was only a little. This is normal right?

The noise actaully started coming from the drivers side, then went away for a little while and came back on the passenger side. So, it is probably somthing linking the sides (sway bar, end links, etc...).

I have buddy Clubs Race coils and stock sway and links. Does anyone know if there is a weak spot up there I should look for? BTW, this started happening shortly after my weekend at Road America. Thanks.

I really can't tell you exactly what the noise sounds like, best described as squeeking or light rubbing.

Its not the rotors, but I do know what you are talking about. That happened to me in the past as well.

Could it be a damaged rubber suspension bushing? Wouldn't that cause a bit of squeaking under articulating/turning load? I've got a similar situation with my stock Bilstein/RIDE springs setup --- I just assumed I damaged one of my control arm bushings by not waiting until the car was on the ground to torque it up. I have since purchased the urethane bushing kit and will have those installed with a set of coilovers next time around.

Curious, though.
