Hey,

Now that it has been raining here for few days my car started making a clicking/squeeking noise fron the front when I am turning my wheel even if stopped. Its weird because there was no noise until a lot of rain and obviously suspension is wet. Any ideas before I take it to a shop its annoying and I cant imagine it will stop after it drys up in few days.

Have you gotten out of the car and tried to locate at least the general area of the click? I think i remember someone mentioning the steering linkage needs to be re greased sometimes. My best guess...
 
I think it was SHO-TYM who had experienced a similar issue with his SHO, and it turned out to need a new hub/bearing.  Worth looking into strut mount/bearing also.  Can you localize the noise?
 
Here is a video guys, if you turn up ur volume you can easily hear it. I have not been able to locate it even after opening the hood and listening very carefuly while wife turns the wheel. It sounds like its coming from the middle of the car but hard to tell honestly.https://vimeo.com/164944293

This might be a stupid question, and i realize it's easier said than done, but have you tried getting under the car while the wheel is being turned ( i only weigh 130 lbs so its easy for me)? Obviously the car has to be off, accessory power only. From there you should be able to determine if it's mechanical (from the linkage or box/motor)or from bushings with the car shifting when you turn the wheel.

Have not tried yet but will tomorrow, just wanted to see if anyone else had the same issue before I start looking into it. I have the CPO warranty but am lowered so I am not sure if that will boid the warranty or not if they have to do suspension work, will find out soon I guess :)

Yeah, some dealerships will point to the lowering springs as the cause (right or wrong), and it IS true that H&R springs can make a creak/groan noise if they are not seated properly.  IIRC, at one point, ShoBoat had written up a brief article regarding how to re-lube the strut mount bearings ... here it is:

Thanks! I think this might be the issue and its kind of going away now that ita drying up around here.

Definitely agree these cars due like to creak/moan especially when there wet,would also remove those aftermarket Dubs and return her to stock especially with a CPO Warranty,BTW did you check for any Codes?  Z
 
I had a slight rattle a while back and the Tech found the Bolt on top of the strut tower loose by the sway bar and re-torqued the bolt to oem spec's which fixed it and especially in your case having recent Springs installed and make sure those dust covers are on there,dont want water going inside there,pic's below.  Z
 
Ughh its completely gone now that its dry, thats so weird! I will check all the bolts.
