squeaky noise

[Takimo]

i heard squeaky noise on all these test

-when turn a street corner or when i make a slight steering movement to avoid pothol etc
-when i brake
i try to push down in front corner of the car and it also squeak

is it a worn out ball joint ?

Could be - how many miles on the X and have you ever done any front suspension work? If over 100k, I'd just refresh the whole front suspension.

[Takimo]

182 000km no suspension work on it

How much do you love your X? You can chase a squeak at individual parts or just replace the whole front and rear susp and have a new driving X again for about $1k plus alignment - at your mileage and age and considering the wintry area you live in, most of the parts are probably worn.

Some people report "creak" noise like this from the metal front reinforcing plate (looks like a metal splash pan) if the bolts aren't fully torqued to spec.

noise is back here and there, seem like its the control arm, any recommended performance brand ?
