ok a friend of mine has a Sebring that is also making crazy noises. basically there is a squeaking / rubbing type sound coming from the front end when the wheel turns…but the car has to be moving. i checked the fluid, which was low…but adding fluid didnt do anything. what would be the first thing to check…some sort of ball joint or something in the front end?
…obviously i cant diagnose problems for shit, so any help would be appreciated…also in my ZR2 thread too
dude at my work said it could just be the cold, cause it just started this weekend…that a possibility?

awesome…thanks dude. ill check it out for her…maybe thatll be it
It may be the balljoint. I had the same problem with my avenger and my moms sebring. If its a 95-00 theres a recall on the passenger side balljoint. Hope its gets fixed soon cause i had the luxury of mine falling off while i was driving.
ya hers is like a 99 or 2000 and it does seem to be on the passanger side…maybe its that then
I almost guarantee that the balljoint is the problem. You can take it to any dodge or chrysler dealer and have it fixed. :bigthumb:
awesome…hopefully thats it. thanks man
Yep.
so she called around to a few different dealers, they said there is no such recall on the Sebring 
what?? I’ll get the link for ya. I had it done on my avenger and my moms sebring and my friends sebring. 1 sec.lol
