I also noticed that the steering wheel is not returning to the straight position now after turning while driving

BTW does the sound has anything to do with not putting some grease/lubes on the bushings? :boggle:

match the amount of thread on show on that side compared to the passenger side

iirc that seems far to low, ie needs to be done up alot more

I had my car lowered today but the thing is that when turning the steering wheel (either way), there's a squeak sort of noise from the driver's side suspension only.

It's like when water get on the door rubber surrounds and squeak when you drive...LOL

What could that be?

thanks
