Squeaking noises coming from the front of your car could be caused by suspension problems such as the rubber bushings in the suspension drying out and causing issues such as the squeaking.

Another cause could be the serpentine belt squeaking and mine does that on really cold days for a few miles until the engine and belt warms up.

The belt could also be slipping due to a bad stretched serpentine belt or bad bad serpentine belt tensioner.

Low power steering fluid can also cause a squeaking noise to come from the front of your car especially when you turn the steering wheel.

So be sure to check the power steering fluid level.

Bad shocks or bad struts are another cause of squeaking noises especially when you go over bumpy roads.

If you push on the front of the car when it's parked and you hear a squeaking noise then it's likely the front shocks or struts that need replaced.

If not then it's probably your belt, power steering pump or even a slipping serpentine belt.
