Default Anyone who has had their control arms replaced
I just had the following done: both upper right front and both left and right lower trailing arms(or whatever they are called),replaced about a week ago. I still have a squeak when I turn my steering wheel back and forth either sitting still or at a slight roll I can hear it.

They did not replace the left upper control arms so I'm wondering if that is what is making the noise.

Default Squeak, or creak? does it make the same noise if you push down on the fender?
It could be that the tie rod ends are dry..

Default I still think it's kind of shady to replace everything but the two left uppers
when there is a know problem.

Loud creaking noise coming from front left when I turn the wheel at slow speeds or when I'm stopped.
