Q: Cracking/Squeaking sound when turning or braking
I bought a 2007 Jeep Liberty a month a go, and the car is lifted 3 inches with a new suspension kit installed by the previous owner. 2 weeks after driving it normally, a cracking squeaking sound started to appear whenever I make a full turn left and whenever I brake on slow speed like to stop before a pump or to park. The sound appears to me it's coming from the right front tyre side when I turn left but one mechanic told me it's from both front arms because of the lift kit. Is that normal with lifted jeeps? And is it dangerous to ignore it? Is there a solution but with keeping the lift kit because the liberty is hideous without a lift. Thanks in advance.
