when i drive my sho at around 20-25 mph, i hear a chirp/squeak on the front left fender. when i turn the steering wheel a quick left and right at the same speeds, it does it again. when the car is parked, with engine off, i push down on the front left and i hear the same exact squeak. u dont hear the noise at higher speed. how does one know, besides bent or broken, if the lower control arms are bad? that's what i am thinking at the moment but i am not 100% sure. its not the struts, it is coming from the front left fender. anyone had this problem? its gettin worse........

Take off the left front wheel and tire and rotate the outer head of the tie rod. Is it squeaking? If so, you can replace it with a Moog greasable and get an alignment or use a thick needle hypodermic needle and inject some whel bearing grease in the boot until it returns to squeak-free motion. I tried that on a SHO I serviced and it worked great.
