    I'm getting a tremendous amount of squeaking/squeeling coming out of what appears to be the front end on my '99 355. I hear it more when I turn the wheel to the right and definitely when I brake. It's real bad/loud at low speeds and extremely annoying. When the car is running at higher speeds, I don't hear a thing unless I turn to the right and then I hear the creaking again.
    Bushings shot, shocks, suspension???
    Any suggestions

    Not an expert, but I'd suggest if it is a 'squealy' noise as opposed to a one-off creak, that it is wheel bearing or brake related.

    Could be as simple as a buildup of brake dust, or as complicated as new suspension bushings or ball joints.

    Take it to a mechanic.

    Your suspension bushings could need to be greased.
