2000 Dodge Stratus Front End Squeak
Need help pinpointing what this could be before I start replacing parts. I have a video as well.
First of all a few things about it:
1. Squeaks at part and at lower speeds (don't notice it much when driving at average speeds). Also notice it on bumps.
2. Steering seems a little hard, but not unbearable. Therefore the steering wheel doesn't seem to revert back to its neutral position.
3. Seems the passenger's side squeaks when rocked from the outside.
4. The vehicle has been in an accident when I purchased it (some damage on the driver's side such as the bumper is lopsided and the hood isn't straight).
I got the car for cheap and it runs/works fine but this squeak annoys and worries me all the same.
Really want to say its a control arm/ball joint but maybe there's something I don't know.
