chattering noise coming from the front right wheel well, only happens when i first start the car and its super cold in the morning, it doesnt happen in the summer. its creaky and chattery when driving for a few but when the car warms up it goes away. also happens more often when I brake.

is it possible coming from the springs? or break pads?

Can you post a video of it? Hard to diagnose accurately without hearing it exactly.

Why don't you ask your "cheating" boyfriend maybe if he has the time he can look at it.

Seriously, When was the last time you lubed the ball joints? Does is do it when you turn the wheel? or only when you go in reverse.

Don't rule out front right motor mount. A defective or leaking mount can make all kind of weird noises. It's a well known problem for B16s.

The B16 ball joint are sealed, no Zerks fitting. I know, it sucks.
