Default Noise from front drivers side

I'm thinking U-joint since it only happens while turning. Sounds like a little bit of a squeak and then makes a louder chirping like sound the sharper I turn. Started yesterday.

Figured I'd run it past the collective here.

Have you run over any hitchhikers or wayward bicyclists lately?

Hmmm.. not that I know of. I'll check for children though since they can fit under there pretty easily.

ujoint or wheel bearing if you gonna be in there might as well do both. i found wheel bearings on amazon for like 50$ ujoints aren't more than 10$. if you do one side do the other.

Wheel Bearings for $50? Shoot, that's nothing! They're $214 a piece for my Mitsubishi. Damn things are integrated into the hub assembly.

Napa has inner & outer sets for $11-$16 for each. I might pick some up tonight.

Keep in mind, you have pretty much the same setup on your dodge, as you have on your mitsu. Hub/bearing unit. I am not entirely sure if they are rebuildable......

Okay, I'll do the U-Joints first and if that doesn't take care of it then do the wheel bearings.
