Squeaking noise when turning left

[Bro]

Hello everyone

I've got a loud squeak coming from what sounds like the drivers side front wheel. It's a loud creaking noise and can be heard outside the car as well as inside.

I've taken the wheel off and turned the steering wheel to try locate the noise but it only seems to do it when the weight of the car is on it. I've had the arb links changed and also changed the drop links a few weeks ago but the noise is still there and seems to be getting worse.

The noise happens when I turn the wheel to the left when I'm doing slow maneuvres (big word)

Only thing I can think it could be is the main hub ball joint

Any suggestions?

You ball joints have quite a bit of play, so you need to replacement.
Mostly, the ball joints on the control arms or the lower ones on the perfo hub.
@Raptor6767 can provide you some heavy duty ones

Thanks for the help guys. How difficult are these to change?

Which ball joint is most likely to be the problem?

Probably the lower. They're most common for it. Though before replacing, it's worth just jacking the car up and gripping the wheel either side and seeing if there's any side to side play in the wheel!

They are a pain to change to be honest, the punch bolt 99% of the time seizes in. And the ball joint will need pressing out and new one pressing in
