Default 2008 Dodge Nitro Wheels (area) Squeaking and braking clunk sound.

Hi - I am having major squeaking coming from the wheel area of my 2008 Dodge Nitro when I go over any minor bump or groove in the road. Does anybody know how that can be fixed? Shocks maybe?

Also, after reversing my Nitro, the initial time I push the brake i here a knock sound coming from the front right brake. Only happens when I brake for the first time after I reverse.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Franco

Franco,

First suggestion would be to check rotors, calipers, and pads in the front. Also, welcome to the forum!
