Hi guys my el has started to squeak fairly loud in the front end. It happens when turning corners and braking at slow speeds. Does anyone know how to fix this or what it could be? Thanks.

Sounds like Strut rubber bushes.

I had the same problem. It was the upper control arm bushings. Just get some new ones in there and it will be fine.

If it was my problem, i ended up putting a camber kit on the same time i lowered it (Replacing the upper control arm) which had new bushing in it.

Absolutely, BUT, lower it first, in the same procedure as getting it lowered, install a camber kit, them immediately take it for a wheel alignment and camber adjustment. This should all be part of the lowering process anyways, but just in case it needed to be spelt out for everyone.. If your not doing this when you lower a car, or cannot afford to.. you should not be doing it at all.
