    I cant seem to pinpoint where exactly where the sounds come from, but likely the front left suspension. When making a tight right turn in a parking lot, there would be a screeching sound and metal clanking sound. It doesn't happwn if I crawl really slow. I checked the suspension at full lock and don't see anything rubbing. Seems like I need to turn fast enough to compress the suspension on one side to cause the noise.

    I'm on 2.5" lift with TC uniball UCA's.

    Any idea what caused this?

    did you ever find out whats causing the shreek mines doing this when making tight turns in parking lots or sweeping turns, I thought it could be the serpentine belt but im not sure

    My tires squeal in certain parking lots/ garages. No clanking sounds though.

    yes exactly my tires seem to be sqealing making these turns and they are also far beyond worn out so im assuming its them but wasn't quite sure because the sqeal is really bad, im looking into some new tires so hopefully they don't make the noise, im hoping
