Well I was pulling out of my drive way and had to pull out quickly before my bro could throw things at my car. Well after I did that the left wheel made a squeaking noise like rubber rubbing on rubber. The left wheel turns find but it makes the squeaky noise from that side when turning left and back to the straight position. My friends say it is a bent axle but if it was I'm pretty sure i wouldn't be able to turn the wheel. Please help, I dont want to buy a new front axle based off my friends advice :facepalm:

Are you certain it's not the steering wheel itself making noise? Mine makes something of a wheezing/rubbing noise sometimes when turning, but it's intermittent. There is a TSB about that issue which involves replacing the entire steering column. :facepalm: Needless to say, I'm not going to bother.

Just to be sure, see if this TSB applies to you: NTB03-007 - NOISE FROM STEERING COLUMN WHEN TURNING
