Hey guys,

I have a high pitched speaking noise coming from what sounds like the right front of the car when turning the wheel. It only happens (or is only noticeable) at very low speeds, like parking lot speeds when backing out, pulling in, etc. etc. Also, when I go over bumps, I can hear a good amount of squeaking from the R front of the car. It sounds like a pretty ghetto porche coming down the road sometimes. It isn't sqeaky in the mornings, or after the car has been sitting for probably 8+ hours. But after driving it for about 5-10 minutes, it will speak when I turn at low speeds again.

Also, when I press down on the front right part of the car, just above the front passenger wheel, it sqeaks pretty hardcore from the wheel well area. None of the other shocks are sqeaky. It doesn't ride like the shocks are out though.

1999 base boxster 92k miles, unknown if it is original suspension.

Any ideas

Edit: its more of a creaking sound, driving right now.
