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 ---
