RX370

Own a 2008 RX350 (07 build). lately, been hearing the following noises from front wheel area: when I turn right or left, while wheels are turned , driver's side wheel area has a squeeky noise to it.

When I go over speed bumps, both driver and passgr side front suspension makes a squeeky noise as well.

Overall, suspension seems to be in good shape, car is not bouncing around or feeling harsh driving through rough roads, etc.

Any similar experiences out there? CV Joint issues possible?

RX350 with 22K miles on it.

thoughts?

Not sure how long it's been but noticing your in Florida and we've had the recent cold spell, sometimes that can cause rubber pieces (even where the springs on the shocks sit) to jiggle and squeak. Happened to me on cold morning in Mexico City, too.

There's a whole bunch of noises I hear on my RX300 I know are either cold weather related or something needs fixing, little bushings, etc.

Sometimes after coming out of a car wash or washing the vehicle myself I'll notice the sounds are lesser so/dissipated or won't hear them.

You can also have an outside observer watch and listen as you go over say a piece of board and see if you can pick up the sound, but often the rubber underneath the spring on the shock is a common point of issue and also on the mount at the tippy top of the shock.

alot of times that can be associated with the sway bar links and bushings, links would have to be replaced, and as long as the bushings arent knocking, a little grease goes a long way.

Take it in and have the dealer debug it. Should be under warranty.

If you are looking for a DIY fix try spraying all the rubber bushing areas with some rubber lube spray.
