okay so my girlfriend is trying to sell her 94 dx BUT it has some kind squeak from the passenger front tire! it heard mostly during slow speeds turning and braking. the wheel bearings are good and same for the tie rods. also put new pads and rotors on it. what could it be?? i really just need a quick fix to get rid of it!
thanks.

sounds like you need to use some grease. one of the bushings might be dry and need some love.. you can buy silicon spray grease at any aoto parts store. i have some and works really good... just spray it on any movoing part of the suspension...

im not sure its bushings. its like a loud metal on metal sound. i went to town on the underside with a can of WD-40 for now

wd-40 wont work... its not a lubricant for bushings... or any kind of moving parts. if its a clunk noise, check you shock tower bolts.. makes sure its all tight. and the top bolt to your shock... might be somthing loose underneith... look for weair on parts. if it sounds like metel on metal look for dents or markings of contackt...

Does it happen when braking?
I actually have something similar to this on my '92 DX. Front passenger wheel, don't know about yours but mine is definitely a metal-on-metal, rotational sound. By that I mean, I hear it once every rotation of the wheel. And as for mine, when I lightly apply the brakes, it stops. Bum rotor maybe?

Check on the backside of the rotor, inbetween the rotor and the metal shield behind the rotor. Sometimes a lil rock will get stuck in there and squeek. Its happened to me many of times.

^ that or use the brake grease on the pads to prevent from squealing

check all your suspension parts and rotating components for loose bolts and stuff stuck where it shouldn't be
