Name that noise. Edition 1000002

[Wayne]

08 mustang

Recent cold groan/squeak from some bushing on the passenger side not quite doing it’s job anymore(or perhaps not enough grease at ball joint?) when turning the wheel either way. Goes away after a minute or less of driving. And seems to be only present in 50 or less degree temps(that’s F for the rest of the world that doesn’t use that); colder it is the worse/longer it is.

Sounds exactly like a slightly muffled squeaking door in an old horror movie. You know, as they show the door slowly open and it reveals the shocking character behind it, etc..

I’ll figure it out when I look at it when I’m ok with freezing my butt off to jack it up some morning before going out, but I though maybe someone would be all eureka! about the noise so I can freeze less of it off later. 😉
