Default Sweaking noise when I shift different gears

Does anyone have this problem?

Everytime I shift my gears between park-reverse-neutral- drive I hear a sqwuak like noise....Most of the time is squeaks and sometimes it doesn't make any sounds...I want to take it in to get checked but everytime I try the noise goes away...Very strange.......

I had it checked by a mechanic.. he told me its da front lower control arms ball joint is looose. He said that part shouldnt be loose (movable). He said he has fixed three different gs's in da past with the same problem. IF u still under warranty take it to da dealer and have them check it and replace it if necessary.. I'm gonna do that this week.

My mechanic is one of my friend.. I've been goin to him for da past 7 years.. He never failed on me. He told me just the part for each side is $180. so you'll looking at $360 for both side plus labor. Its not cheap. I'm glad i still have warranty. i hope they will cover it and not say that i voided the warranty since i have aftermarket tein coilovers and trd blue sways. I'm taking my car to the dealer dis weekend.
