“Front right wheel makes loud banging sound. Started when the car had about 70,000 miles on it. Then came a horrible squeaking sound. This occurs constantly when driving and especially when turning the wheel. I replaced the lower control arm bushing in june. They were completely gone and made the wheels have a lot of play . The noise went away for about 3 months and is now back louder than ever.”
